Start 9:25am Duration: 50mins Van Gogh<br />
Probiotics have been defined as “live microorganisms which, when administrated in adequate amounts<br />
confers a health benefit on the host”. Recent years have seen an increased interest in probiotics, following<br />
the outcome of several human intervention studies.<br />
This workshop will give an overview of probiotics and their use in dietary supplements and food, especially<br />
dairy products. Furthermore, the workshop will more broadly explore opportunities to use this type of<br />
microorganisms in complimentary medicine and nutrition.<br />

Assessment of Elderly Drivers - The Sweat Test: Is your patient safe to drive?<br />
Concurrent Workshop Repeated<br />

Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury related deaths among 65 – 74 year olds and the<br />
second leading cause among 75 – 84 year olds (after falls). They have a higher fatality rate than any<br />
other age group except the under 25 year olds. Drivers over 75 years are involved in more accidents<br />
per kilometre than middle aged drivers. By 2030 the number of persons over 70 years old is predicted<br />
to triple. Although many older drivers self regulate their driving, it is not enough to keep crash rates<br />
down.<br />
Driving is a key role in everyday life for NZ society for all cultures, which impacts on self esteem,<br />
independence, social, vocational and avocational activities. It is an intrinsically complex task, combining<br />
well learned routines and the ability to respond flexibly and safely to unpredictable events. It is also an<br />
emotionally laden subject, with the potential for huge repercussions for the patient, the patient’s family,<br />
and the <strong>GP</strong>.<br />
This workshop will explore how a medical issue observed by a <strong>GP</strong> can translate to a driving safety<br />
concern. The effects of medical deficits on practical driving skills will be reviewed and practical tools and<br />
strategies will be provided for use in <strong>GP</strong> practices.<br />
