KEYNOTE DR PETER BRUKNER, OAM We are getting fatter and sicker – what are we going to do about it? SATURDAY SESSION 1 – 8.15AM – 9.15AM
Over the past 40 years we have got steadily fatter and sicker. Now 70% of Australian men are overweight or obese, as are more than half of our women and over a quarter of our children. There are nearly 2 million people with diabetes in this country and the incidence of many other chronic diseases is steadily increasing. Why has this occurred? How are we, on the primary care coalface, going to turn things around?
ALMs Choose from these high impact and topic-focused ALMs covering the latest updates on skin cancer, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Each ALM earns you 40 QI & CPD (RACGP) or 30 PRPD (ACRRM) points.
