Topic: Updates for Chronic Care Management for GPs Conference
Speakers: To be confirmed
Synopsis:
This 2-day conference in July 2026 will focus on updates in chronic metabolic illness management. In recent years, we have seen the launch of new drugs like SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP1-agonists, GIP analogues, and PCK9 inhibitors. These medications enlarge the armamentarium available to the primary care physician for more effective control of diabetes, hyperlipidemia and weight. This further unlocks the ability to reduce cardiovascular and renal adverse events.
While there has been widespread inclusion of these new medicines in many physicians’ regular prescribing habits, some physicians may be remain hesitant or conservative in their chronic disease management. This conference hopes to continue the journey of making these new medicine classes understandable and familiar to the primary care physician, thus reducing obstacles to their usage and raising the standards of primary care.This year, we recognise that in addition to the classic metabolic chronic diseases, long-term skin and bone conditions also contribute to the overall chronic disease burden. With this in mind, we will also address conditions such as osteoporosis and chronic skin/nail diseases.
