Join us for this online webinar on Chronic kidney disease management

We are excited to bring you a monthly breakfast webinar session as part of the St George Hospital education program for GPs. The Integrating Care Education program is an opportunity for hospital based specialists and their respective primary care specialists to meet in a forum to discuss the care of their patients. The topics covered will assist with patient care where it meets at this important interface. The program will cover topics relevant to both groups to improve movement to and from the two spheres of care. It will be delivered by hospital specialist with an interest or expertise in community based care.
