Collection: Chronic Disease & Conditions

Delivered by experts in the field, the three-part Professional Diploma program in Chronic Disease & Conditions equips medical practitioners with the skills to prevent, treat and manage some of the most common chronic illnesses seen in primary care.

It is estimated that over 58 per cent of patients presenting to general practice in Australia have at least one chronic condition. As a first point of contact and having built a trusted rapport with patients, GPs are ideally positioned to provide support for those with chronic health issues and comorbidities.

In this online medical course tailored for general practitioner training, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the management of chronic disease and conditions (including of the heart, lung, gastrointestinal system, kidney, thyroid and eyes; gender-specific chronic health issues; hepatitis; obesity; diabetes; Parkinson's; osteoarthritis; and more) to better support your patients and reduce the impact of comorbidities. Learn how to work as part of a team-based management plan that involves efficient coordination between healthcare providers, patients and their families, to improve your patients' overall health and quality of life.
