To reduce our eco-footprint, we’re now offering more opportunities to register online.

Effective assessment and appropriate management of patients presenting with symptoms related to the ears or nose is an important part of general practice.

Approximately 4% of GP encounters are solely for ears and 5% of medical specialist referrals are to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist. Common presentations usually diagnosed on otoscopy include ear infections, ear pain, nasal obstruction and foreign bodies. Other common presentations are vertigo and undifferentiated dizziness, ear and nose trauma and hearing loss.

This interactive and hands-on workshop will cover assessment and management of the above presentations. Participants will have the opportunity to perform hearing tests and interpret the results with the audiologist. Please bring your otoscope.

Workshop learning outcomes• Discuss assessment and management of dizziness• List the red flags for causes of vertigo• Outline the investigations for hearing loss• Identify appropriate techniques for removal of foreign bodies in the ear and nose• Review conditions requiring urgent referral to ENT specialists

PresentersDr Leslie Shaw, ENT Specialist Edwina Reid, Neurophysiotherapist Ron Kendall, Audiologist
