Cybersecurity and Disaster Recovery in General Practice
Healthcare practices continue to be a major target for cyber criminals, with data breaches, ransomware attacks and compromised accounts posing significant risks to patient information and business operations. The good news is that some of the most effective protections are also the simplest to implement.
This practical webinar is designed for GPs, Practice Managers, Practice Nurses, and Allied Health Professionals and focuses on essential cyber security measures that every healthcare practice should have in place.
Learn about multi-factor authentication (MFA) and how effective these are to protect your accounts; the importance of regular backups; how Password managers can be useful; the security risks in sharing passwords and what practices can do to improve their password management across an organisation.
The session also provides a brief overview of the current cyber threat landscape facing healthcare providers and highlight practical actions that can be implemented immediately, regardless of practice size or budget.
Learning outcomes:
- Describe why multi-factor authentication (MFA) is one of the most effective ways to protect accounts from unauthorised access
- Identify the importance of regular data backups and how testing backups can ensure your practice can recover quickly following a cyber incident
- Describe how password sharing creates significant security risks and what practices can do to improve password management across the organisation
- Identify how a password manager can help staff create and securely store strong, unique passwords

Cardio-renal metabolic syndrome in people with diabetes
This podcast explores the intersection of cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic health, with a focused discussion on cardiovascular disease management and the emerging role of GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2i in lowering cardiovascular and renal risk, alongside strategies for optimising care in patients with renal disease.
The presentation of patient case studies brings these concepts to life, highlighting clinical decision-making and multidisciplinary team approaches.
Learning outcomes:
- Analyse how cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic systems interact in cardiorenal metabolic syndrome and affect outcomes in primary care.
- Evaluate evidence for GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2i in lowering cardiovascular and renal risk and identify appropriate patient use.
- Apply current guidelines to manage patients with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.
- Use clinical reasoning from GP case studies to guide decisions and improve multidisciplinary care.
- Develop practical management plans combining pharmacological and lifestyle interventions across the cardio-renal metabolic spectrum.

Current and Emerging Therapies for Osteoarthritis (Professor David Hunter)
Are your osteoarthritis patients stuck in a cycle of ineffective pain management? Are we relying too much on MRIs and surgical referrals instead of treating the whole person?
Today, we are putting an end to the "wear and tear" myth and exploring exciting new and emerging therapies, from holistic core treatments to GLP-1 agonists that will empower your patients and revolutionize your primary care practice.
This episode was originally recorded as a webinar by the Northern Sydney Primary Health Network.
