Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is largely preventable with a number of modifiable clinical factors accounting for the majority of risk. The absolute risk approach is potentially more than twice as effective at reducing death from coronary heart disease as the individual risk factor approach.

In this webinar, A/Prof Ralph Audehm will outline how you can implement the absolute risk approach in your practice, including use of Heart Health Checks.

On completion of this activity participants will be able to

1. Recognise the risk factors and key indicators of aggression and violence.

2. Effectively manage difficult patients through a range of communication, de-escalation, and diffusion skills.

3. Identify and implement effective practice strategies and measures to improve the safety of the workplace.

The workshop covers a range of communication strategies and skills in dealing with challenging interactions with patients and others. This includes practice set-out to maximise safety and survival skills for GPs involved in home visits and verbal judo for tricky situations. The workshop is designed for all members of the practice team.
