Participants must attend weekly treatment by our specialised multidisciplinary team including pressure offloading, wound-care and endocrine consultation. For more information contact us at slhd-rpahddsstudy@sswahs.nsw.gov.au Eligibility criteria includes: diabetes, ulcer on the sole of the foot and ability to ambulate. Exclusion: Severe limb ischaemia.
Nasogastric tube feeding: Have your say
Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, South Eastern Sydney Local Health District and Central and Eastern Sydney PHN are currently looking at how we work together to care for children with complex and chronic conditions. The project is initially focusing on implementing a model of care to support children needing replacement of nutrition support devices. To do this, we’re asking GPs to complete the eleven question multiple choice survey below, which will help us collect information about their experience of working with children with nasogastric feeding tubes, and to explore the challenges that exist in managing nasogastric feeding in the community. We hope that this will benefit you and your
patient base in the near future. Complete the survey at https://www.research.net/r/NGTFeedingSurvey
World Hepatitis Day 2017 reminds all primary care providers of their vital role in viral hepatitis elimination in Australia
With the availability of effective vaccines and treatments for hepatitis B and a cure for hepatitis C, the elimination of viral hepatitis is achievable and this is the theme of World Hepatitis Day 2017, to be held 28 July. With close to half a million Australians living with chronic hepatitis B and C, it is likely there is someone who attends your practice living with hepatitis. It is vital for primary care providers to know the risk factors, test and diagnose people living with hepatitis, to enable treatment to start early enough to halt serious liver damage.
