Responses from governments and the professions What is the relevance of immunisation programs? The animal human divide reservoirs and transmission? What is your role in control and containment? 10:00 Professor David Isaacs Communicable Disease Surveillance and Vaccination This presentation will look at the role of communicable disease surveillance and vaccination. The Department of Health and Ageing advises that vaccination is an integral part of infectious disease control worldwide. In 2010, there were 61,964 notified cases of vaccine preventable diseases. Discussed in this session will be: 'Communicable Disease Surveillance' and detection in the community, hospitals and aged care facilities The intent of vaccination, opposing views, and recent outbreaks of vaccine preventable disease - e.g. measles The latest NHMRC Standard Vaccination Schedule Notification of infectious diseases 11:00 Morning Tea 11:30 Professor David Isaacs

This presentation examines the diagnosis of rashes that are infectious, and reviews current best-practice management. Includes: General assessment, examining rashes/questions to ask Describing characteristics of the rash and relevant terminology Isolation decisions - what to isolate and how 12:45PM Lunch Break 1:45 Giulietta Pontivio Does Climate and Location Make a Difference? Some infections, such as Ross River fever and malaria are climate sensitive. But what about influenza and norovirus? Knowing the specific environmental and social predictors of communicable disease is vital to understanding local situations and early assessment. Which infectious diseases are most likely to occur in your community or workplace? What is important in practice and prevention? 3:00 Afternoon Tea 3:30 Dr Jaon Faoagali The Path Lab - Your New Best Friends In this session several case scenarios relating to different infectious diseases will be examined. You will find out the essential relationship between specific laboratory results and diagnosis and treatment. For example: What are the criteria for collecting and sending specimens to the laboratory? Is cell count/presence of pus cells significant? Why does it take two days for antibiotic sensitivities to become available? What is meant by viral load? A look into the future of pathology services 4:15-30 Wrap Up Day Two 9:00AM Commencement of Day Two 9:00
4 Influenza - What Is the Latest...? Influenza "the flu" is a highly contagious viral disease responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. The infection is generally short-lived, but presents in non-specific ways and causes a more severe illness than most other common viral respiratory infections. This presentation will discuss: Is it "the Flu" or a cold? Infecting organisms, strains that nurses need to know Influenza vaccination latest update, role of antiviral medications Most vulnerable populations, impacts on health services Myths and misconceptions 9:45 Community Acquired Pneumonia: What You Do Now Counts! Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common disease, a frequent cause of hospital admissions and can have fatal consequences. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment is the key to recovery, and also to survival. The presentation will cover: Epidemiology, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms of CAP Treating CAP, what is required? Respiratory support: simple physiotherapy, masks, CPAP and BiPAP: which is best? Infection control essentials 10:30 Morning Tea 11:00 The Looming Crisis of Antibiotic and Multi-drug Resistant (MDR) Disease Antibiotics have played a pivotal role in the control of infectious diseases, but this has come at a cost. Diseases such as tuberculosis are becoming resistant to standard treatments. Resistant organisms identified by the World Health Organization are one of the biggest threats to health in the 21 century. This session looks at: Pathogenesis and infections The misuse of antibiotics Community acquired MRSA and other MDR threats 12:00 Margaret Jordan Medicines of Choice in Infectious Disease In treating infectious diseases, antibiotics immediately come to mind but they are only useful where bacteria are present and not effective against viruses. In this session we will provide an update on current antimicrobials including: The range of antimicrobials
