STI Community of Practice – Mpox
Back to events
These sessions will provide an opportunity to ask questions, participate in case discussions, seek advice, network and provide peer support.
Hosted by the Victorian HIV and Hepatitis Integrated Training And Learning (VHHITAL) program, this webinar is intended to support primary healthcare practitioners with the opportunity to bring case studies for discussion and mutual learning. This peer learning approach enhances the future practice of low case load practitioners or even the most experienced practitioners who can benefit from being part of a community of practice.
Mpox is an urgent notifiable condition and cases have been increasing globally and within Victoria. On 14th August 2024, the WHO declared the Mpox outbreak in central and eastern Africa a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. This update will provide attendees with best practice information on diagnosis and treatment.
