There is growing evidence that individuals that have recovered from COVID-19, can have symptoms that persist beyond the initial illness. Studies suggest that survivors of COVID-19 are at risk of psychiatric sequelae and that psychiatric and neuropsychiatric sequelae are indeed an essential part of the long-COVID syndrome. Wentworth Healthcare invites you to join Dr Lucette Cysique, Professor Kay Wilhem and Dr Clare Ramsden as they discuss the mental health implications of the COVID-19 infection. Learning Outcomes

• Describe the short term and longer term psychological and neurological correlates and sequelae of the COVID-19 infection

• Recognise the symptoms and what to look out for in patients

• Discuss the risks for post-traumatic responses for people post-COVID infection

• Define strategies to support patients with psychological and neurological long COVID symptoms

• Discuss the treatment options and considerations for COVID-19 patients

2021 Shingles Vaccination Update for Frontline Health Care Professionals

Featuring Prof Robert Booy and Dr Andrew Baird

Description: This webinar will provide attendees with an update regarding shingles epidemiology and current trends in vaccination rates.

NSW Rural Doctors Network (RDN) and Rural Doctors' Association of NSW (RDA NSW) invite you to attend the online 2021 Rural GPs Conference.

The Rural GPs Conference is the premier event for GPs working in rural NSW and medical students who are interested in a rural career - and their families.

With the recent lifting of the lockdown and several other public health restrictions, communities are being encouraged to normalise and accept the presence of COVID-19. This ‘new reality’ places a renewed focus on vaccination status and the broader management of the health of COVID-19+ patients in the community.

This session will discuss the role of GPs in providing effective health care for COVID-19+ patients, and the management of related health and workplace issues for general practices.
