As part of a GP education series Common challenges in Primary Care, Metro North Health and Brisbane North PHN invite GPs to join them and a panel of experts for an evening of education and discussion.

Care of Epilepsy patients can be challenging requiring a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach to assessment, treatment and management with a chronic disease mindset. This education event aims to review existing clinical information and management and discuss emerging evidence and current services available for Epilepsy patients including Epilepsy surgery for Refractory Epilepsy. The RBWH Epilepsy team operate a number of clinics and services ensuring timely and appropriate treatment of patients from across Queensland from first seizure to the management of complex Epilepsy.

Join GP colleagues and specialists from the Metro North Neurology team for case-based learning regarding the diagnosis, assessment and management of Epilepsy. This interactive online education evening will focus on a cross section of case studies for Epilepsy patients across the care continuum to improve clinician comfort in managing complex cases, raising awareness of referral and follow-up options and providing recommendations and tips for the management of patients in general practice. There will be an opportunity to engage with our panel of experts about advice on management, referral options and support services that may be useful for you in primary care.
