Pneumococcus, Rotavirus, Varicella Vaccines - What’s New? -<br />
Saturday, 11 June 2011 Start 8:30am Duration: 120mins Sportsdrome<br />
Prevention of infectious diseases is at the core of good health and vaccines represent one of the greatest<br />
achievements of biomedical science and public health. There have been significant advances in the<br />
development of vaccines, which hold promise for improving the health of New Zealanders. From July<br />
2011, the Government will broaden the coverage of pneumococcal disease in New Zealand by replacing<br />
Prevenar with Synflorix (a 10-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine) on the National<br />
Immunisation Schedule. In addition to those vaccines on the Immunisation Schedule, there are others<br />
that are recommended and available in New Zealand but not yet funded. This interactive workshop<br />
will provide you with an update on the advances in pneumococcal vaccination in New Zealand and the<br />
implications for clinical practice. The workshop will also cover the latest developments in recommended<br />
but non-funded vaccines, including rotavirus and varicella vaccines.<br />

Starting Insulin in General Practice - Nurses Programme<br />
Saturday, 11 June 2011 Start 11:00am Duration: 60mins Sportsdrome<br />
Many patients with diabetes fail to achieve targets for glycaemic control because of inappropriate use<br />
of insulin. Patients and health care professionals face many potential barriers to insulin initiation and<br />
intensification in primary care. These can be categorised as low motivation, lack of familiarity or experience<br />
and time constraints. Type 2 diabetes is progressive in nature and many people with the condition will<br />
inevitably require insulin therapy to attain and maintain adequate glycaemic control. My presentation is<br />
about exploring the nature of these barriers and offers suggestions and practical solutions for addressing<br />
and overcoming these hurdles so that insulin can be initiated confidently and appropriately in order to<br />
improve diabetes care in Primary care. Goal of the workshops will be about different insulin profiles,<br />
selecting and using devices, troubleshooting injection issues and knowing what key information to<br />
impart when starting someone on Insulin.<br />
