Update on the Management of Childhood Nocturnal Enuresis – Dr Danielle Delaney

Nocturnal enuresis is not a benign condition. It can have severe psychosocial repercussions for the child and the family so it is important to ensure that all possible management options are carefully explored and diligently implemented to maximise the chances of success. Treatment options have evolved considerably to include alarms and psychophysiological conditioning which can be very effective but are highly sensitive to user error. The understanding of the pros and cons of pharmacotherapy has also evolved somewhat. Dr Danielle Delaney will provide a practical update on all these aspects of this important condition in this lecture.

Biologics for Asthma – What GPs Need to Know – Dr Greg Katsoulotos

Understanding where biologics fit in the management of severe asthma: their benefits and risks. Biologics represent a major advance in the treatment of severe asthma. For so long, we've only had steroids in our bag of tricks when we're faced with a patient whose symptoms don't respond to the myriad of puffers currently available. Now, we have another option. But where, when and how do we use these new monoclonal antibody therapies. In this presentation, respiratory expert, Dr Greg Katsoulotos will outline the role of biologics in the management of severe asthma (and eosinophilic asthma), as well as ensuring we know which of our patients are most likely to benefit from this new therapy.
