The aim of this paper was to determine the effectiveness of the 'Infections in Pregnancy' e-learning module in improving general practitioner (GP) knowledge, confidence in counselling and intended practice regarding CMV patient education.Method: This study used a pre-post quasi-experimental design. GPs undertaking the module in March to December 2023 completed questionnaires before and after completing the module. An adjusted linear mixed effects model was used to evaluate change in scores.Results: Of 164 study participants, 94% had not previously received CMV prevention education. Total adjusted mean CMV knowledge scores and confidence in CMV counselling were significantly higher after completing the module (P<0.001). The proportion of GPs intending to counsel pregnant patients about CMV increased from 24% to 97% after completing the module.Discussion: Targeted e-learning can improve GP knowledge and confidence, and can support the implementation of the national congenital CMV risk-reduction guidelines.","PeriodicalId":54241,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of General Practice","volume":"54 6","pages":"407-412"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144227609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to address knowledge gaps around the case mix of general practice paediatric consultations, as well as GP referral patterns, associated factors and costs.Method: A cross-sectional analysis of 49,932 paediatric consultations was performed across 22 general practices in Victoria and New South Wales involving 130 GPs. General practice electronic medical records were analysed to determine consultation reasons and referrals.Results: Common reasons for visits included medical issues, immunisations, developmental-behavioural concerns, check-ups and mental health. GPs referred 10% of visits, predominantly for mental health. Referral patterns were associated with private billing, GP demographics, patient characteristics and years of working in general practice. Most referrals were to private specialists. Estimated costs to the healthcare system were $1.39 million.Discussion: GPs mostly refer to private specialists for mental health and developmental-behavioural concerns, particularly with private billing, indicating access disparities. Increased public sector capacity for these conditions is needed. Strengthening paediatric primary care could yield significant cost savings by reducing referrals.","PeriodicalId":54241,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of General Practice","volume":"54 6","pages":"347-355"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144227622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nasal balloon auto-inflation is a potential low-cost alternative to surgery to manage OME; however, the experiences of healthcare practitioners and parents in using this treatment strategy are not well understood. This study aimed to understand the experiences of using nasal balloon auto-inflation as a treatment for childhood OME.Method: Caregivers of 69 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children using auto-inflation in the AutoINFLation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children with Bilateral OME (INFLATE) randomised clinical trial answered the questionnaires. Interviews were undertaken with caregivers and Aboriginal community research officers.Results: The novelty of the experience excited children initially, but caregivers needed to ensure the treatment remained enjoyable and incorporated into the daily routine. The device was easy to use for most, with twice daily inflations the most manageable. The family dynamic (number of children, split-care arrangements) affected success.Discussion: Gamification of treatment, as well as regular check-ins by healthcare practitioners, can increase adherence and achievability of the treatment plan for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.","PeriodicalId":54241,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of General Practice","volume":"54 6","pages":"369-374"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144227624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A retrospective file audit was conducted of the electronic medical records of patients enrolled through the clinic.Discussion: With local coordination, the clinic has reviewed and commenced 23 patients on OST, all via telehealth consultations with addiction medicine specialists based remotely. The clinic's preliminary successes supporting patients on OST locally demonstrates an innovative solution to a longstanding problem. The small sample size requires that further study is necessary; however, the feasibility of this model shows how patients in regional and rural areas can have similar access to OST as their metropolitan counterparts.","PeriodicalId":54241,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of General Practice","volume":"54 5","pages":"311-314"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144033282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
