Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HSE Prevention Programmes (CDM, PP, OCF) - Tips for GPs
Q: What changes to APP eligibility should listeners be aware of, and how should practices adapt their searches for eligible patients?
APP eligibility includes high cardiovascular risk (Q-risk 3 >20%), hypertension, pre-diabetes (HbA1c 42-47), prior NT Pro BNP >125, gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia since 2023; practices should search for hypertensive patients, exclude those already in CDM, and identify those not yet registered for APP.
HSE Prevention Programmes (CDM, PP, OCF) - Tips for GPs
Q: David, do you still manage to carve out time for an actual CDM clinic in a smaller practice, and how do you organize it?
In smaller settings, we block time for CDM, often combining nurse-led and GP-led reviews, with some days dedicated to CDM and other days reserved for routine care, ensuring sessions fit around other practice activities.
Vaccine Hesitancy
Q: How can admin staff contribute to improving vaccine uptake?
Admin teams should create accessible pathways—online booking, proactive reminders, and flexible scheduling—so families can get vaccinations with minimal friction, and they should signpost reliable information when concerns arise.
Vaccine Hesitancy
Q: What kind of steps can practice teams take to reduce barriers to vaccination?
Focus on three pillars: recognize hesitancy as a spectrum and tailor conversations, empower clinicians with clear information and strong recommendations, and streamline access through admin-led workflows, reminders, and easy appointment options.
Atrial Fibrillation - General Practice Update 2025 (Summer Repeat)
Q: Could you start with telling me when did these people need to go to hospital now?
Patients who are hemodynamically unstable, with very low blood pressure, or those showing signs of heart failure, pulmonary edema, suspected pulmonary embolism, or infection-related AFib symptoms should be seen in hospital today; otherwise, many patients can be managed outpatient with appropriate monitoring and anticoagulation decisions.
