Adolescents contribute significantly to society.  Their energy and passion add to the fabric of communities.

As GPs, we have a unique role to play in adolescent health and health outcomes.

This month, Dr Johanna Lynch shares some insights into considerations in adolescent mental health.

Hi - I’m Ronda Gurney. Welcome to RVTS4GPs.  This is the second part in the 2 part series on sports injuries. Part 1 dealt with common injuries in adults, and this month, we’ll take a look at children and adolescents.  We're sharing excerpts from the webinar with Dr Cunningham - there are a few radiology images that are discussed during the webinar, so if you’re listening to this as a podcast, you may want to save it until you’re NOT driving, so that you can look at the images. Thanks Corey.

In this podcast, we listen to recording of a webinar with Marie Rauter, a paediatrician at the Royal Hobart Hospital, who presents a case and discusses the diagnosis of ADHD. Marie highlights the comprehensive assessment we, as GPs, can complete, and she outlines the management options she would consider as a paediatrician.

Recently Marie Rauter, a paediatrician at the Royal Hobart Hospital, presented a webinar to some of our first year registrars on “Developmental Delay”. It’s a big topic, but an important one for general practice, as we are often in a perfect position to detect developmental delay early and identify the cause, suggest corrective action, or refer for further assessment, services and support. Marie covered a wide range of presentations and considerations. We’re sharing one of the cases with you today.

Listen to the audio file to hear the case discussion.

In this webinar excerpt, Shirley Alexander discusses childhood obesity and gives very practical tips for GPs to implement.
