All conferences are broadcast live and all session recordings and presentation slides are available to access from RCGP eLearning for up to nine months after the conference (we endeavour to upload content as quickly as possible after the conference, but it typically takes one to two weeks).

If you are not able to attend live and would just like access to the recordings, please select the REWIND ticket at registration.

This one day conference aims to refresh and renew information on common infectious diseases that primary care clinicians are likely to encounter over the 2024/25 winter period. Dr David M. Smith and a selection of leading expert speakers, who are closely associated with primary care, focus on essential information, latest evidence, practical tips, and take-home messages to help improve practice and patient outcomes around infectious diseases.

The winter months are increasingly difficult for primary care teams; this conference aims to empower GPs to increase their knowledge about the infectious diseases patients are most likely present with this winter. Through increasing clinical knowledge, we aim to improve the confidence and resilience of GPs heading into the winter period.

Topics include:

  1. What’s on the horizon this winter
  2. Measles
  3. Infectious gastroenteritis diseases
  4. Hints/tips on tackling common respiratory conditions
  5. Pragmatic issues on increasing immunisation rates
  6. How best to manage scabies

Learning objectives:

  1. Update knowledge as to any anticipated acute rises in circulating pathogens over the winter
  2. Refresh knowledge of management of frequently seen conditions, to enable more effective triaging to take place
  3. Develop techniques to increase vaccination rates.
