Inaugural Meeting
www.gpcme.co.nz/south
6-8 August 2010 | Hotel Grand Chancellor | Christchurch
Working for doctors in NZ
for over 100 years
The New Zealand Medical Association (NZMA) through its
General Practitioners Council is a strong advocate for GPs and General
Practice. We advocate for urgent and effective solutions to the crisis
in the GP workforce. We represent 600 general practices in the
Primary Health Care MECA negotiations. Members have access to
many NZMA advisory services, which can be utilised by the practice
manager.
The NZMA also publishes the New Zealand Medical Journal
(available at: www.nzma.org.nz/journal) and the NZMJ Digest
(selected papers from the NZMJ).
Thank you for supporting your professional association
- We look forward to representing and supporting you.

Welcome
It is always a pleasure to join colleagues at conferences that are both
educative and great fun. The NZMA GPCME conferences are always such
occasions and it is a real pleasure to welcome you to Christchurch for the
inaugural NZMA GPCME South meeting.
For some years we have had delegates attending the Rotorua conference
telling us that they had been able to come to the conference only because
one of their practice colleagues drew the short straw and had to cover the
patient load for the couple of days, and the weekend.
This conference developed out of that feedback. Christchurch, a few
months on, provides the ideal pay-off for those who had to stay behind
during the Rotorua event. This conference will provide the same style of
short, sharp educational sessions and hands-on workshops that Rotorua
is renowned for.
The other obvious advantage for many is the timing. Christchurch in
winter! Hopefully many of you will have found a few extra days to enjoy
the Garden City or the nearby ski fields. The early season outlook is that
Mt Hutt and the other Canterbury ski fields may have the best snow
conditions in the country this year.
We are confident that this conference will complement the Rotorua event
and expect it to become a regular feature of the General Practice calendar
in the years to come.
For now please take advantage of the excellent academic and social
programme, add a few of your own leisure time activities, and go back
to your practice energised and reinvigorated so that you can continue to
enjoy being a GP.

Reliever free days for most of
the year. That’s freedom.
1
By prescribing twice-daily Seretide® you can
achieve and maintain asthma control* in most
patients.1,2,3 What’s more, patients treated with
Seretide in the GOAL study achieved a median
of 87% reliever-free days over 1 year.1
So help improve your patients’ likelihood of
achieving reliever free days for most of the
year.1 Step them up to Seretide.
*The GOAL study examined whether guideline-defined control could be achieved in 3,416 patients with uncontrolled
asthma. On Seretide, 41% of patients achieved total control and 71% achieved well controlled asthma for periods of
7 out of 8 weeks during the 1-year study. Total control was defined as experiencing none of the 7 listed symptoms
for at least 7 out of 8 weeks.

Dr John Apps
Dr John Apps has been a rural GP in Westport for 4 years. Trained in the UK, he worked in NHS General
Practice & A&E Medicine, in addition to running a vasectomy clinic and delivering advanced pre-hospital
emergency care. Frustrated with the lack of effective treatment for musculo-skeletal pain, he trained in
western style acupuncture focussing on trigger point identification and needling. After 19 years, he left
the NHS to concentrate on his main clinical interests of pre- hospital emergency & wilderness medicine,
event medical cover, vasectomy service provision and trigger point needling. Due to lack of attention, he
somehow ended up with an Occupational Health business as well!
Wilderness experience includes six Antarctic seasons, high altitude Himalayan trips, extreme marathon
events and a recent military tour in Afghanistan’s Helmand province. John lives with his partner, Sue, on
a 50 acre forestry block on the wonderful West Coast, where they experiment with self-sufficiency &
home-brew.

Another of the major cardiovascular epidemics, with the increasing prevalence, high mortality and
morbidity.
The diagnosis is based on clinical suspicion, but that alone is not sufficient as it lacks specificity. Diagnosis
has to be further refined by the use of special tests. The most useful of these is echocardiography, but
unfortunately there are difficulties of access in primary care. Measurement of natriuretic peptides is a
very useful ‘rule out ’test heart failure is unlikely to be present if the test result is normal.
Management of heart failure is increasingly a multidisciplinary approach, with close coordination between
members of nursing as well as primary and secondary care physicians. Many centres have established
specialised heart failure services.
Sudden arrhythmic death occurs in half the cases. This has led to the increasing use of implantable
defibrillators in high-risk patients. These devices have definitely reduce the mortality, but have done little
to improve the quality of life or the trend to recurrent hospitalisation which is one of the major drivers
of cost in heart failure.
The use of cardiac resynchronisation therapy has improved the quality of life in selected patients with
advanced heart failure. Sophisticated devices which incorporate implantable defibrillators together with
resynchronising pacemakers, have been shown to reduce hospitalisation, improve quality of life, and by
the defibrillator incorporated in the device, also reduce sudden death mortality.
Cardiac transplantation continues to be advocated in highly selected cases. Whilst optimal
pharmacological therapy continues to be the mainstay of heart failure in general, these device-based
therapies have been shown to improve both symptoms and survival above anything achievable by
optimal medical therapy.
As the heart failure population in most countries continues to grow, the steady increase in device-based
therapy is well set to cause a further cost benefit debate in a field which is already one of the most
expensive clinical indications in public health.

Before deciding on management options make an accurate diagnosis, decide if histology is required and
have an understanding of skin cancer biology and behaviour. Recognise invasive and high risk cancers.
• Non melanoma skin cancer is the most common malignancy in humans
• Surgery is the mainstay of treatment
• Mohs surgery conserves tissue and optimises cure rates
• Destructive modalities require careful selection
• Immunomodulators, photodynamic therapy and drugs that address genetic defects and normalise
keratinisation show promise
• Radiotherapy and chemotherapy in selected situations
• To and T, melanoma must be managed surgically
• Lymphomas, sarcomas, vascular and adnexal neoplasms can be complex to manage
• Strong collegial associations advised if you treat skin cancer.

Issues in Fertility
Start 8:55am
Duration: 25mins
Chancellor 1
Healthy eggs and healthy sperm are the most important gift you will ever give your children. Creating
these is an issue for Primary Care. Although one cannot alter age and intrinsic biology, there is mounting
evidence that lifestyle factors influence not only the chance of conception, but also the health of the
embryo through to subsequent adulthood. A new concept in the time management of fertility delay will
be presented.
Outcomes for Assisted Reproductive Technologies continue to improve. New options for ovarian
stimulation have been developed, which both improve outcomes and reduce risks. Significant changes
have occurred in the investigation of male infertility, which may allow more focus on treatment. The
assessment of ovarian reserve has been greatly enhanced with the development of robust assays for
AMH. At a time when survival is becoming common following the treatment of cancer, continuing
fertility in the interests of long-term quality of life can now be addressed. Children born following ART
procedures show both morphological and endocrine differences from control groups. This information
and a growing knowledge about epigenetic influences giving exciting insights into potential future
beneficial outcomes both in natural and in ART conceptions.

Because it is the most common primary disorder affecting the brain, it is hardly surprising that epilepsy
is the diagnostic possibility so frequently considered whenever a patient presents for review having
undergone a blackout or other transient neurological event. While it is a diagnosis easily made in many
patients, family practice-based studies in the UK have suggested that in up to a quarter of those believed
to have epilepsy, the diagnosis proves to be incorrect. Of the wide array of disorders that can be mistaken
for epilepsy, two of them in particular probably account for the majority of epilepsy mis-diagnoses. My
review of how to diagnose epilepsy will therefore include particular focus on how to avoid being misled
by these two epilepsy look-alikes.

Also known as Intramuscular Stimulation, this will be a practical, hands on workshop, so come prepared
to be demonstrated on! Participants with musculo-skeletal pain are welcome.
I will give a brief overview of how it seems to work based on the concept of muscle shortening (no
science involved), review some cases, show some typical pain referral diagrams and then demonstrate
trigger point identification and treatment by examination & needling. The main skill is examination
technique to find the painful bits and the only essential knowledge is knowing where NOT to needle!
I use this technique during normal GP consultations: it is rapid and effective in about 70% of cases.
Typical problems treated include neck, shoulder and back pain (including those with radiculopathy),
chronic headaches and migraine, trochanteric bursitis and epicondylitis.
GPs who have introduced needling techniques into their usual practice, generally report a reduction
in referral rates and decreased prescribing of analgesia and anti-inflammatories, not to mention some
increased work satisfaction! Some patients even return to work after years on the benefit system!
If time allows, we can include acupuncture treatments that have been shown to be effective for the nasal
symptoms of hay-fever and OA of the knee.

The new recommendation for smoking cessation is the ABCD: (A: Ask about smoking, B: Brief advice
(about quitting), C: Cessation treatment and D: Do testing). There is growing evidence to suggest that
smokers are interested in their risk of smoking complications. Spirometry and genetic testing are useful
tools to engage smokers much like we use cholesterol for assessing cardiovascular risk and initiating
lifestyle changes. This presentation will cover recent insights into how this testing helps smokers quit and
provide a useful tool of engagement.

Healthline - ten years evolution of the national telenursing triage and advice line
Start 2:00pm
Duration: 25mins
Chancellor 1
Healthline was started as a pilot ten years ago, and became the national teletriage and advice line in
2005. Its telenurses now field 1000 calls a day, 700 of them from callers unsure of what they should do
about a current symptom. They are questioned according to a highly sophisticated software program,
excluding serious causes first, and arriving at a disposition of care that is safe, consistent, and “the
right place at the right time”. Consistent with similar national lines in UK and Australia, the highest
number are triaged to self care at home, with decreasing numbers referred to more urgent dispositions.
Adherence to advice is high, and satisfaction similarly high. Complaints are few. Clinical governance
procedures ensure continuing quality improvement in the service. There will be many new options and
opportunities for such a service over the next ten years.

While pharmacological management of hypertension is well understood and relatively easily practiced,

Lack of exercise and excess salt intake are cited as contributors but nutritional deficiencies can play a
significant part. This paper discusses the evidence around this neglected aspect of care.

The impact on both the child and the family of a child or adolescent with a sleeping disorder is huge.
Approximately 25% of all children in New Zealand experience some type of sleep disorder at some time
in their childhood. These range from difficulty falling asleep and frequent nightwakings, to the more
serious primary sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea and narcolepsy. Almost 1/3 of primary school
children and approximately 40% of adolescents suffer from significant sleep complaints.
The consequences of sleep disorders in children can be serious, and range from cardiovascular problems
and failure to thrive, to behavioural concerns and academic failure.
The importance of recognising and diagnosing these disorders is vital, as most are treatable with effective
medical and behavioural interventions.
At this workshop, a range of children’s sleep disorders will be discussed and will include:
1. Signs and symptoms of these disorders.
2. Relevant history and examination to be undertaken, with further investigation if required.
3. Treatments, both medical and behavioural, that can be undertaken.

Vocational rehabilitation has never been so important. In our turbulent economic times, illness or injury
can be devastating to the employee who may lose their job, or the employer who has to train another.
In the last 12 months there has been renewed worldwide interest in health at work from a human,
social and economic perspective. This was in part led in early 2008 by the publication of “Working for a
Healthier Tomorrow” - Dame Carol Black’s review of the health of Britain’s working age population. The
aim of the UK government now followed by ours and other governments as the merits are seen, is to
change attitudes to ill-health or injury and work. In particular, the benefits of remaining at work are now
overwhelming, yet our current system, and many individual health professionals, focus on what their
patient cannot do rather than what they can do at work. Many wrongly perceive that staying away from
work during mild-moderate illness or injury is in their patients’ best interests. Overall evidence available
to-date shows that vocational rehabilitation is effective and cost-effective, and must include both workfocused healthcare and accommodating workplaces. They found that healthcare solutions alone do not
provide best outcomes for the individual. A coordinated team approach from the patient, employer,
primary medical provider and rehabilitation specialists is the optimal way to achieve desired outcomes in
the environment most of our patients are part of.
This workshop aims to present both available evidence and case-based scenarios, and discuss common
problems encountered in supporting vocational rehabilitation and examples of how to address them.

Since 1998 the focus for the provision of pre hospital management of trauma ( and medical) emergencies
in New Zealand has been the PRIME (Primary Response In Medical Emergencies) system. Although its
adoption has been inconsistent across the country and there has been controversy regarding funding
methods it is still the most important system for the training and coordination of emergency response
outside the metropolitan areas. The guidelines for the Roadside to Bedside initiative based on the
work of the Australasian College of Surgeon Trauma Committee contains valuable information for the
management of emergency situations and are currently being revised and updated. The introduction
this year of a Regional Trauma System led by Waikato Hospital in the Midland region will go some
way to improving provision and co-ordination of trauma response in that part of New Zealand. The
improvement in service and the reduction of “turf wars” such a system can offer will hopefully see their
adoption across the country in the near future. Some specific management scenarios will be provided to
illustrate potential benefits.

Clearly, time does not permit one to cover all these conditions in any detail. Particularly, the role of the
primary care physician in this situation is limited to a rendering emergency first aid, securing the airway,
establishing a diagnosis and stabilising the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure prior to removal to
hospital.
The most frequent emergency that the rule of primary care physician encounters, and for which he should
be trained is the management of acute coronary syndromes. The diagnosis of these conditions may be
relatively straightforward in the presence of a typical history and ECG changes. However, frequently this
is not the case. A high degree of clinical suspicion is essential.
The interpretation of the electrocardiogram is most important, as it is the most readily available diagnostic
tool. ST segment elevation in a collapsed patient indicates a large transmural myocardial infarction.
Current guidelines require that this patient being moved to a centre with facilities for percutaneous
revascularisation. If such a centre is too far away, then thrombolytic therapy offers the best prospect of
myocardial salvage. Patients should be pre-treated with buccal aspirin and given appropriate thrombolytic
therapy.
Stabilisation of the patient prior to movement to the hospital is vital in preventing the development
of major rhythm disturbances. A vital ingredient in this stabilisation process is the relief of pain. If the
patient has a resting tachycardia, then small doses of beta-blockade should be used to slow the rate.
Likewise, in the presence of significant bradycardia, the administration of atropine will help to elevate
the heart rate.
Control of nausea and vomiting, which is a frequent concomitant of acute myocardial infarction is important
in preventing further myocardial necrosis and the development of life-threatening arrhythmias.
Other cardiac and vascular emergencies include acute hypertensive emergencies and acute heart
failure.

Rural practitioners are faced with difficult and life altering decisions on a daily basis, throw into the mix
the foreign environment of emergent pre-hospital care, unfamiliar equipment, inclement conditions and
multiple casualties! Who goes? Where do they all go? What levels of care do they require? And who
will provide all these resources? Decisions like these require a considered and co-ordinated response
appropriate to the scene. This session hopes to provide you with some tools in order to help make a
sometimes tricky decision, simpler and justified. Pre-Flights assessment, stabilisation and some tricks
of the trade will see you decrease stress and increase patient care in this sometimes overwhelming

The increased incidence of snowboarders on the ski field has changed the injury patterns of alpine
trauma. Skiing injuries traditionally involved lower limb injuries including tibial fractures and knee
ligament injuries, now there is a much higher incidence of upper limb trauma with AC joint, shoulder
and wrist injuries predominating.
Initial assessment of severe trauma will be discussed with emphasis on the musculskeletal system followed
by the assessment and management of the common upper and lower limb injuries. There will be an
emphasis on the shoulder and knee.
Following this session participants should have a better ability to assess and manage acute shoulder and

Since 1998 the focus for the provision of pre hospital management of trauma ( and medical) emergencies
in New Zealand has been the PRIME (Primary Response In Medical Emergencies) system. Although its
adoption has been inconsistent across the country and there has been controversy regarding funding
methods it is still the most important system for the training and coordination of emergency response
outside the metropolitan areas. The guidelines for the Roadside to Bedside initiative based on the
work of the Australasian College of Surgeon Trauma Committee contains valuable information for the
management of emergency situations and are currently being revised and updated. The introduction
this year of a Regional Trauma System led by Waikato Hospital in the Midland region will go some
way to improving provision and co-ordination of trauma response in that part of New Zealand. The
improvement in service and the reduction of “turf wars” such a system can offer will hopefully see their
adoption across the country in the near future. Some specific management scenarios will be provided to
illustrate potential benefits.

Travel medicine - not just bugs
Start 8:55am
Duration: 25mins
Chancellor 1
General Practitioners are well placed to provide travel health services to their patients because (usually)
they know the patient’s background and have established a trusting relationship with them. Also, many
travellers book their trips without the slightest idea that they should have some medical input before
they depart and GPs may have the opportunity to raise this awareness.
Whilst travel vaccinations are important, they only prevent a small number of deaths and a more holistic
approach is called for. Advice on avoiding murder, suicide, assaults, road accidents and drowning may
seem painstakingly obvious but people do the stupidest things when abroad. Although most travellers
know that they should only drink bottled water and that they may need to take malaria pills, many seem
to think that they have somehow opted out of the “meet a rabid dog” encounter. Sure, many patients
won’t listen to you anyway but simple advice can mean the difference between life and death, or at least
between a good trip and a disaster.

Lumps or swellings in the Head and Neck can have a wide range of causes. This talk aims to provide a
logical way of approaching these, leading a likely diagnosis and management plan in general practice.
The presentation is divided into four main areas, with some degree of overlap.
1. Neck lumps in children.
2. Neck lumps in adults.
3. Salivary gland disorders.
4. Head and Neck cancer presentation.
1. Lateral paediatric neck lumps are commonly inflammatory nodes which can be managed in general
practice, unless they persist. Midline paediatric neck lumps are usually developmental and require
referral.
2. In adults, the presence of a painless lateral neck mass can often indicate a metastatic malignant node.
Midline neck masses are usually of thyroid origin. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a useful investigation
but does have a significant false negative rate. If the FNA is not consistent with the clinical picture
there should be a low threshold for repeating the FNA, or considering referral
3. Head and Neck cancers are relatively common, but present with a wide range of symptoms and can
masquerade as benign disease, necessitating a high index of suspicion to make a diagnosis. Treatment
is multi-disciplinary and usually curative.

Does this apply to my patient with a respiratory problem ? Case Studies
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) are very common. Most GPs encounter these on a daily basis although
frequently several other issues need to be addressed during the same patient consultation. In particular
patients with COPD often have several co-morbidities. Published disease-specific guidelines (e.g. for
asthma or COPD) may either be very comprehensive but too long and impossible to apply during a
patient consultation. The abbreviated versions may be too narrow with a focus on the pharmacological
components of the patient management. Guidelines often are said to be “evidence-based” but in reality
the evidence may be derived from clinical studies that included patients quite unlike the patient in front
of you. The controversial issue of inhaled corticosteroids for the management of COPD is discussed as
are 2 examples of the published so-called “mega-trials” for COPD.
A systematic approach to the individual patient is required: What are the symptoms due to? Is the
diagnosis correct, do I need additional information or tests ? Are there additional factors? Has the
treatment made any difference – if not , should it be discontinued? Do my patient’s beliefs match
my own? What non-pharmacological considerations are required ? Cases of “COPD with frequent
exacerbations “, “asthma with poor control and persisting symptoms” are presented and analysed with
reference to published treatment algorithm.

When prescribing, GPs need to be aware of their patients profession and hobbies. GPs have at time
to deal with patients who are pilots. Some drugs are either prohibited or require special Civil Aviation
approval. In general terms when treating a pilot, fitness to fly determination depends both on the
condition being treated and the treatment itself. Dr Claude Preitner discuss particular considerations that
Medical Practitioners should give when treating pilots, and conditions that are of particular concern to
flight safety. He also addresses Medical Practitioners legal obligations in regard to those conditions and
treatments of concern and advises on available resources. Air travel is becoming more accessible and the
age of the travelling public goes up. This results in an increase in the number of passengers flying with
medical conditions. The aircraft environment can exacerbate pre-existing medical problems leading to
problems in-flight. Dr Claude Preitner will also discuss practical aspects of assessing passengers’ fitness
to fly, when confronted with such questions in General Practice.

Recent achievements and developments within the NZ Palliative Care sector will be outlined. The definition
of palliative care continues to evolve and associated terms such as “end-of-life care” and “advance care
planning” have emerged. NZ is the third best place to die according to a recent international survey but
we still have a long way to go. Challenges include the need to ensure consistent access to and quality of
specialist palliative care and the requirement to make sure that all palliative care is integrated seamlessly
across services. Palliative care education, guaranteed back-up and support for complex cases and a
universal elevation of the status of palliative and end-of-life care in primary care, aged residential care
and acute care is needed.
We must consciously identify palliative care as being the complete picture. The role of GP teams is
critical, with specialist services there to provide a solid, dependable framework. Work done recently in
Canterbury known as “HealthPathways” will be presented. This is a joint initiative between primary and
secondary care, assisting GPs with clinical problems, planning and coordinating care and improving the
interface with specialist services. The ultimate aim is that patients and families receive the care they need
in the location of their choice whenever possible.

Another CV Epidemic- In danger of being the ‘Forgotten Killer’ as opposed to the “ Silent Killer’ of old.
Focus has moved from the obsession with numbers of the blood pressure towards the assessment of
absolute cardiovascular risk. This entails putting blood pressure into the context of multiple cardiovascular
risk factors. Inevitably, the management of hypertension also entails the control of these other risk
factors.
Lifestyle measures underpin all management strategies in the hypertensive patient. Increasingly
however, it is necessary to use drug therapy to achieve optimal levels of blood pressure reduction.
Only by this approach, can worthwhile reduction in real clinical events be achieved. Patients with
significant hypertension, are therefore often on complex medical regimes which include two or three
antihypertensive agents, together with, lipid lowering therapy, antiplatelet therapy and other agents to
control blood sugar and gout. This polypharmacy makes compliant difficult, resulting in drug failure.
Simplification of the regime and the close involvement of the patient and his family are essential to
achieve adherence to a therapeutic regime.
The very minimum target for successful treatment should be a systolic blood pressure below 140 mmHg
and a diastolic of less than 90 mmHg. This target should be revised downwards for diabetics and those
with manifest organ damage. A search for organ damage with simple measurements of renal function,
proteinuria, left ventricular hypertrophy and diabetes should form a part of the essential preliminary
evaluation. These points are of particular relevance to patients of Maori, Pacific and South Asian origin.

General practice is a complex and fascinating place to work with many challenges for those managing
staff. For example if your new staff member hasn’t worked in this environment before, they won’t just
walk in and do the job . . . you need to train and support them.
If you get it right, from the beginning of the employment relationship through to the end and all points
in-between, staff will be your most valuable asset. Proactively managing performance will also reduce
the cost and time spent on managing underperformance and disciplinary processes.
CORNERSTONE™ accreditation further reinforces the need to have clear documented workplace
policies and guidelines in place for the whole practice team - including GPs. And breaching your
employer obligations in relation to employment agreements or employment law can land you in serious
hot-water.
Understanding the basics of current legislation and developing good policies and processes will help
you manage and develop a confident and motivated team and ensure legislative compliance.

• Recruiting well
• Position descriptions & KPIs
• Employment agreements

General practice has changed significantly from the traditional small business model where all revenue
flowed directly from the GP/Patient consultation. Most of these changes have added layers of complexity
to those responsible for financial management including capitation and the transfer of financial risk,
increased group practice compliance and quality standards, less direct GP/Patient consultation revenue,
PHO projects, workforce shortages, different GP needs and many more. Business models have also
changed with DHB, Community Trust, PHO and corporate ownership now being more commonplace
alongside the traditional GP owner/operator. And we continue to see more amalgamations with the
development of purpose built medical centres providing a broader range of primary care services. To be
financially viable and successful general practice now needs good financial management and business
planning skills.
This session will cover three key areas of good financial management:
1. Maximising income – including managing the practice register, consumables, debtors, fee policy
and other revenue opportunities;
2. Managing expenses – including non-owner GP/staff costs and financial risks;
3. Business planning and budgeting – to help determine the future direction and performance of the

The Ministry of Health Hepatitis C Implementation Plan
Ed Gane, HCV Champion, MoH HCV Project Team
In September 2005 a commitment was made by the government, to resolve the longstanding concerns of
those infected with hepatitis C through the blood supply. Within this commitment a variety of measures
were promised, including provision of an enhanced treatment package. Additional funding was sought
and secured for this treatment package and a Hepatitis C Treatment Advisory group, comprising of
clinicians, DHB managers and community representatives and chaired by Ed Gane was established to
advise the Ministry of Health.
The terms of reference of the Hepatitis C Treatment Advisory Group were to develop a costed and
prioritised Implementation Plan, supported by district health boards (DHBs) and the Ministry of Health.
This group first met on 17 April 2007. During 2008, they conducted a comprehensive Stocktake of
current HCV treatment services provided at each of the 21 DHBs. Following analysis of these results
and other information, the committee identified barriers to accessing this treatment and geographical
gaps in service provision. They identified priority interventions to improve services and patient outcomes
throughout NZ and developed a costed and prioritised implementation plan for improving the access to
and uptake of Hepatitis C treatment in New Zealand. The subsequent Health Report and the Hepatitis C
Plan was submitted to Hon. Tony Ryall by HCTAG in January 2009.
On 28 July 2009, the Minister approved the “Strategic Directions for Hepatitis C – improving access to
and uptake of hepatitis C treatment services” and signed off the funding allocation to address the key
action areas within the document. These four key action areas, identified within Strategic Directions for
Hepatitis C, are: (i) improving HCV treatment services;(ii) improving knowledge of HCV among primary
health care providers; (iii) increasing the percentage of all people with HCV who have had the disease
diagnosed; (iv) improving the knowledge of HCV prevalence in the New Zealand population and within
subgroups.
During this presentation, I will briefly outline the plans for primary care, including the new e-learning tool
for GPs and Practice Nurses, designed to improve knowledge and encourage opportunistic screening for
HCV.

Healing Leg Ulcers - Practice Nurses Programme
Start 2:25pm
Duration: 25mins
Ballroom 2
Leg ulcers are 80% venous in origin and consume 1-2% of Vote Health each year. Effective healing
requires treating the underlying chronic venous insufficiency and venous hypertension, use of adequate
class 2 compression and good nursing. Secondary infection and necrotic debris may need attention. The
vast array of available ( expensive) dressings make little difference to healing times.
Compression aids healing, reduces interstitial oedema and needs to be worn 24 hours daily until healing
occurs. Frail elderly patients can use various devices to assist the wearing of compression hose which
need to be a minimum of class 2 strength ( 35-40mm Hg at the ankle). Peripheral vascular disease can
complicate this.
Non surgical treatment of varicose veins is the first line option in most western countries, not yet available
in the NZ public health system. Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) has become the most effective, safe
option with high patient acceptance, and is funded by private medical insurance. Foam ultrasound
guided sclerotherapy (UGS) is used concurrently to occlude distal trunks and tributaries. Careful post
treatment surveillance with duplex ultrasound is necessary to exclude thrombotic sequelae, and to
document efficacy of treatment.
Post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) following deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has been recognised for some
time but is poorly understood. This is a debilitating condition with life long discomfort, leg swelling and
oedema. More common with proximal DVT but seen also after mere calf DVT, it is reduced by 50% by
simply wearing class 2 compression hose for 24 months post DVT, rarely prescribed by GPs. TED stockings
continue to be widely prescribed consuming health funds – completely useless in the ambulant patient.

Better Community Respiratory Care
Start 8:30am
Duration: 25mins
Chancellor 1
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) are very common. Most GPs encounter these on a daily basis although
frequently several other issues need to be covered during the same patient consultation. Good self
management will generally result in better disease control and better patient outcomes. The education
required to achieve this however may be time-consuming . So called “Life style” factors such as smoking
and obesity, social determinants of health such as poor housing have significant impact on respiratory
health and need to be addressed more effectively.
COPD often is not diagnosed until half of the patient’s lung function has been lost. 2/3 of the “burden”
of COPD may as yet need to be to be diagnosed. Case finding, better and earlier community care may
prevent patients from progressing to a more severe stage.
Hospital and Specialist Services usually are overloaded and unable to respond in a timely fashion to
anything but urgent referrals . Significant barriers for patients to attend hospital services exist, in
particular in larger cities. Numerous “silos” exist, often providing quality patient care but without
sufficient integration between providers and different specialities. Frequent acute presentations do not
necessarily result in better chronic disease management .
It is crucial to have dedicated resources to identify enrolled patients with CRD, to allow proper diagnosis,
patient education and the development of a CRD management plan which is based on a holistic approach
– including pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments.
Locally adapted, web-based pathways, easy access to community based diagnostics such as spirometry
testing or sleep studies, community based and integrated education, pulmonary rehabilitation have been
set up in Canterbury as part of the Canterbury Initiative and some gains have already been made. Further
strategies need to address the development of better incentives for all providers and further reduce
barriers for better integration and for patients to access services.

How to ACT to Improve Asthma Outcomes
Start 7:30am
Duration: 45mins
Chancellor 1
There is a major gap between what can be achieved with modern asthma management and what is
currently being achieved. One of the main reasons for this is a lack of recognition of asthma severity
and the requirement for more effective treatment - it is only through identifying those patients with
uncontrolled asthma that appropriate treatment will be prescribed.
In part the difficulty in the assessment of control relates to the lack of a clear therapeutic target in
asthma. This contrasts with other chronic diseases such as hypertension or diabetes where treatment is
prescribed in order to achieve a definite therapeutic target. One approach to this difficulty is to develop
a simple test which is a screening tool to identify patients with poorly controlled asthma.
The Asthma Control Test (ACT) has been developed and validated for this purpose. It involves patients
completing a simple written questionnaire of five questions, from which a score (out of 25) is obtained.
It has been shown that the ACT is a simple, quick and accurate tool for assessing asthma control and it
has been shown to be responsive to changes in asthma control over time.

screening because there is no single screening test. Consequently 50% of glaucoma in our community
is undiagnosed. Most screening is opportunistic and done by optometrists.
A brief summary of glaucoma is presented.
Take home messages:
1. As primary health care providers General Practitioners can recommend glaucoma screening for their
patients when they reach 45 years, repeated 5 yearly until 60 years, thereafter 3 yearly. This can be done
by optometry or private ophthalmology.
2. Having a family history of glaucoma is a significant part of the family history.
3. Long term steroid treatment is a risk factor for glaucoma.

Wilderness Medicine
Start 9:45am
Duration: 25mins
Chancellor 1
This session will explore the depth & breadth of wilderness medicine as an emerging discipline, illustrated
with cases from around the globe. So, whether you are going as the medic on a charity bike ride,
pushing the survival limits at altitude or near the poles, volunteering for disaster relief work or going into
a war zone, come along for a light-hearted sharing of experiences, where necessity really is the mother
of invention!
We will look at the vital importance of the 7 Ps (proper planning & preparation prevents p*** poor
performance), information sources, suitable training, the common problem of pre-departure concealed
illness, realistic medical kits, evacuation options and working with local health care providers.
I will bring along some of my treasured items of equipment that I would not leave home without.

Having come into Aviation Medicine by chance, I have found it an interesting and rewarding activity,
which complements an active general practice very well. It is a branch of occupational medicine, dealing
with the medical needs of pilots and their certification for flying aircraft. As such it is highly associated
with the ultimate aim of safety in the aviation environment. In the main this is dealing with healthy and
motivated individuals, assessing current health status, and encouraging healthy life-styles. This seminar
aims to describe to sort of work done, and how a medical practitioner can qualify to become involved.

The era of biologics or targeted therapies in rheumatology started in 1998 with the use of tumour
necrosis factor alpha inhibitor in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. As a result of more intensive
monitoring and treatment (similar to tight control of blood glucose in patients with diabetes), combination
DMARDs (disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) and biologics, remission in rheumatoid arthritis and
other inflammatory diseases, is now achieveable. There are currently nine different biologics approved
by the FDA for the treatment of inflammatory rheumatic diseases. In NZ, Etanercept is available for the
treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or adult patients with a history of JIA. Adalimumab has
been available for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis since 1.1.2006 and available for the treatment
of ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis since 1.8.2009. As well as new strategies and treatments,
the other major factor in achieving remission in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases is early and
aggressive treatment. GPs are an important player in this process with early referral to a Rheumatologist
of any patient who they are suspicious of developing early inflammatory rheumatic diseases, regardless
of the ESR or CRP.

A new screening tool for Hepatitis C
Start 11:25am
Duration: 25mins
Chancellor 1
The Ministry of Health Hepatitis C Implementation Plan
Ed Gane, HCV Champion, MoH HCV Project Team
In September 2005 a commitment was made by the government, to resolve the longstanding concerns of
those infected with hepatitis C through the blood supply. Within this commitment a variety of measures
were promised, including provision of an enhanced treatment package. Additional funding was sought
and secured for this treatment package and a Hepatitis C Treatment Advisory group, comprising of
clinicians, DHB managers and community representatives and chaired by Ed Gane was established to
advise the Ministry of Health.
The terms of reference of the Hepatitis C Treatment Advisory Group were to develop a costed and
prioritised Implementation Plan, supported by district health boards (DHBs) and the Ministry of Health.
This group first met on 17 April 2007. During 2008, they conducted a comprehensive Stocktake of
current HCV treatment services provided at each of the 21 DHBs. Following analysis of these results
and other information, the committee identified barriers to accessing this treatment and geographical
gaps in service provision. They identified priority interventions to improve services and patient outcomes
throughout NZ and developed a costed and prioritised implementation plan for improving the access to
and uptake of Hepatitis C treatment in New Zealand. The subsequent Health Report and the Hepatitis C
Plan was submitted to Hon. Tony Ryall by HCTAG in January 2009.
On 28 July 2009, the Minister approved the “Strategic Directions for Hepatitis C – improving access to
and uptake of hepatitis C treatment services” and signed off the funding allocation to address the key
action areas within the document. These four key action areas, identified within Strategic Directions for
Hepatitis C, are: (i) improving HCV treatment services;(ii) improving knowledge of HCV among primary
health care providers; (iii) increasing the percentage of all people with HCV who have had the disease
diagnosed; (iv) improving the knowledge of HCV prevalence in the New Zealand population and within
subgroups.
During this presentation, I will briefly outline the plans for primary care, including the new e-learning tool
for GPs and Practice Nurses, designed to improve knowledge and encourage opportunistic screening for
HCV.

Atrial Fibrillation
Start 11:50am
Duration: 25mins
Chancellor 1
Atrial fibrillation is the commonest sustained rhythm disorder encountered in clinical practice. It is broadly
classified as ‘paroxysmal or intermittent’ or ‘sustained’.
The most important clinical consequences are:1. Haemodynamicdecompensation
2. Thromboembolism
Atrial fibrillation carries a 5 to 7 times increased risk of stroke, which is much greater if there is impairment
of left ventricular function or rheumatic valvular heart disease also present.
Currently, the major strategies for managing this condition consist of 1 restoration of normal sinus
rhythm (Rhythm Control) or 2. Control of the ventricular rate ( Rate Control).
Both these have their place in individual cases, but as regards outcomes, they are equivalent.
Thromboembolic prophylaxis is mandatory in most cases. This is assessed by the CHADS2 Score. { C=
CHF; H= Hypertension SBP>160mm Hg; A=age > 75yrs; D= Diabetes all these are 1 point each., while
S= previous stroke or TIA and has 2 points} Patients with !point can be treated with Asprin but Warfarin
is indicated for all others in the absence of contraindications.
Newer advances with drugs and devices are available but may not be seen in NZ for some time.

You may be asked for a copy of your Attendance Certificate by the RNZCGP or New Zealand Medical Council, so file in an appropriate place.
While the conference is approved for up to a maximum of 18 hours GPs attending can only claim for the conference sessions they attend. Delegates will
need to complete this self-recording form. This form can be kept as the Certificate of Attendance, so practitioners participating in GPEP 2 or MOPs have
