You're invited for an evening of professional development with networking opportunities. Through focused presentations and discussions, attendees will gain practical approaches and clinical confidence to better support patients navigating these reproductive health challenges.
Biochemical investigation of menstrual disorders
Speaker: Dr Kalani Arachchige, Chemical Pathologist and Endocrinologist, Clinipath Pathology
Dr Kalani Arachchige will guide GPs through the key hormonal and biochemical investigations that aid in diagnosing common menstrual disorders. This practical update will equip GPs with confidence in identifying underlying endocrine or reproductive causes of irregular or absent cycles.
Planning to pregnancy: Genetic testing in reproductive care
Speakers:
Karen Harrop, Principal Genetic Counsellor, Private Genetics WA
Kat Roberts, Associate Genetic Counsellor, Private Genetics WA
Genetic counsellors Karen Harrop and Kat Roberts will explore the role of genetic testing across the reproductive journey. Their talk will cover preconception carrier screening, pre-implantation embryo testing during IVF, and prenatal diagnostic options. The session will highlight how and when to introduce these discussions in general practice, how to support patients in making informed choices, and when referral to specialist services is appropriate.
Managing early pregnancy complications
Speaker: Dr Mathias Epee, Genea Fertility Specialist
Dr Mathias Epee will provide a practical approach to recognising, investigating, and managing common early pregnancy complications. The talk will cover threatened miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and early pregnancy loss, with guidance on appropriate investigations, when to reassure, and when to escalate or refer. GPs will gain clear, evidence-based strategies to support patients.
