Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a common yet often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed condition in general practice, significantly impacting the lives of those affected. With the advent of long COVID, it is estimated that 50% of long COVID patients will meet the ME/CFS diagnostic criteria at six months. Early diagnosis, along with active management of symptoms and co-morbidities, are key factors in improving patient outcomes.

Capital Health Network has partnered with Emerge Australia, the national patient organisation for people living with ME/CFS, to host a face-to-face event for GPs and practice staff. Proudly supported by the John James Foundation, this evening seminar will provide an update on identifying and safely managing ME/CFS, with ample time for questions with endocrinologist and ME/CFS expert, Dr. Kevin Lee.

Learning Outcomes

1. Apply ME/CFS diagnostic criteria and address misdiagnoses.
2. Identify treatment and management options, including multidisciplinary approaches and specialist referrals.
3. Discuss commonly used medications for ME/CFS, including their benefits and side effect profiles.

CHN, together with Stroke Foundation, invite GPs in the ACT to the Stroke Management in General Practice webinar.

With over 80% of strokes being preventable, GPs play a critical role in identifying high-risk patients, educating them on stroke signs and risk management, and implementing early interventions.
