This session is provided as a 'next step' for those GPs who recently completed the GP HIV s100 Prescriber Course. This is a great opportunity to discuss cases, talk through course material, ask further questions, network and get assistance with completing course requirements and completing your accreditation.

This 2-hour discussion session will provide an opportunity for community HIV s100 prescribers to:

  • Receive an update in topics relevant to the management of people living with HIV
  • Discuss their difficult cases with specialists and peers

Participants are encouraged to submit their cases for discussion prior to the event.

This session has been approved for 4x Category 2 RACGP points and 2x ACRRM PDP Core points.
