CME-CPD

How to use the screen display function in training? Suppose you learn how to create sites in webinars. Show your screen and demonstrate what you are doing. And then give the participants a few minutes to try and repeat after you. If a lot of people participate in the webinar, then, of course, you will not be able to check the work of everyone at once. Instead, suggest this option: the first 5 people who complete the task will receive a detailed comment from you on their work. Help fix the mistakes and emphasise what was done well. Thanks to this, you activate the participants and show typical mistakes.

MEDTalks Webinar 7.00pm - 8.30pm AEDT Register now Does insulin still have a place in the management of hyperglycaemia in T2D? Insulin, our first pharmacotherapeutic agent and King, is almost a centenarian – but is it time for the old King to abdicate? Are GLP1-RAs the rightful heirs to the injectable kingdom or simply adolescent upstarts needing to earn their right to the throne? Join us for this lively and entertaining MEDTalk presented by three prominent GPs with deep expertise in diabetes as they debate whether, in this new realm of diabetes management, the older sovereign, insulin, should now be consigned to the retirement village of history. Learning outcomes  Analyse updated recommendations in new Australian and international T2D management guidelines in relation to injectable therapies.  Develop a person-centred model of T2D care to optimise both individual quality of life and clinical outcomes.  Identify clinical situations where GLP1-RA and insulins may provide improved outcomes in T2D management.  Apply the most appropriate injectable therapy to provide optimal person-centred T2D care.

The various topics included in the general theme of "Current Challenges in ILD" will allow an update of knowledge on new concepts that will occupy the agenda of interstitial lung disease in the near future. The concept of progressive fibrotic disease currently leads us to a look at the clinic disease behaviour of ILD, with a significant impact on monitoring, prognosis and above all on the therapeutic perspectives of several clinical entities that until recently was not included in ILD. COVID-19's impact on pulmonary fibrosis is now beginning to be framed, given the consequences of the pandemic in patients with previous interstitial lung disease and also the potential development of fibrotic changes de novo after SARS-Cov-2 infection. This issue will remain on the clinical agenda in the near future. The possibility and the need to have our patients monitored outside the hospital has been reinforced in the context of the current pandemic, so it is extremely important to update concepts with tools that will allow patients at risk to be protected and monitored at the same time. Educational aims To internalise the need to approach patients with ILD according to their clinic disease behaviour, in order to early identify the potential for a fibrotic progression; To identify clinical and radiological characteristics of fibrotic worsening or the appearance of new interstitial involvement after SARS-Cov-2 infection; To deepen the knowledge of methods, tools and potential for home monitoring of patients with IPF. Format 3 x 15-min lectures with case presentations plus 5 minutes discussion each (total: 60 minutes) Topics "Update on Progressive Fibrotic ILD" - Carlos Robalo Cordeiro "Impact of Covid in pulmonary fibrosis" - Maria Molina Molina "Telemonitoring in IPF" - Marlies Wijsenbeek Learning outcomes Following this course, participants will: Understand the importance of monitoring clinic disease behaviour to identify progressive fibrotic ILD; Be aware of potential effects and impact of Covid 19 in patients with previous ILD or in the development of fibrotic disease de novo; Become familiar with new tools to manage IPF patients at home. CME credit: ERS has applied for an accreditation of this webinar by the European Board for Accreditation in Pneumology (EBAP), 1 CME credit per 1-hour attendance. In case of acceptance, CME credit will be granted upon attendance during the LIVE webinar. Accreditation results will be presented here in the upcoming days. What is a webinar?
