Heavy menstrual bleeding is a common presentation in general practice and can have a significant impact on quality of life — and patients are often looking for clear, practical advice. GPs are often helping patients navigate a range of management options and supporting them to make informed decisions that align with their preferences and goals. This podcast episode with Dr Simone Gonzo focuses on one aspect of that conversation: how to discuss intrauterine systems with patients, address common questions and misconceptions, and support shared decision-making in everyday practice. What you will learn Dr Simone Gonzo shares insights into how to talk to your patients about intrauterine systems, including practical counselling tips for general practice. Patient-centred counselling: Starting with the patient’s goals, concerns, fertility plans, and expectations when discussing an LNG-IUD. Assessing suitability: Key history, examination, investigations, and clinical considerations before recommending an LNG-IUD for heavy menstrual bleeding. Explaining benefits and alternatives: How to communicate the benefits of the 52 mg LNG-IUD alongside other medical and procedural treatment options. Setting realistic bleeding expectations: What patients can expect during the first few months, including irregular or prolonged bleeding and the timeframe for assessing treatment benefit. Preparing patients for insertion: How to explain the procedure honestly, discuss pain and analgesia options, and provide trauma-informed care. Discussing risks and warning symptoms: Counselling around expulsion, malposition, perforation, infection, pregnancy, and symptoms requiring assessment. Managing concerns after insertion: A structured approach to assessing persistent or new bleeding, pain, absent strings, or concerns that the IUD is “not working”. Follow-up and shared decision-making: Reviewing treatment goals, providing clear safety-netting and follow-up, documenting counselling, and supporting patients who choose removal.

Starting a cosmetic clinic involves far more than choosing a treatment menu and opening the doors. Part one of this two-part series on The Aesthetic Shift podcast explored the key considerations before taking the leap. In this second instalment, Kelly Beasy (HealthCert educator, nurse practitioner, and clinic owner) takes a look at what comes next. From developing a business plan and defining your target demographic to choosing a location, building your brand and navigating marketing requirements, there are many moving parts to consider. This episode discusses the importance of starting small, managing inventory and expenses carefully, and knowing when it makes sense to invest in additional treatments, devices, or staff. Just as importantly, building a successful clinic is about building relationships. Creating a positive patient experience, developing a professional network, and establishing a loyal client base can all contribute to sustainable growth. Kelly shares practical insights drawn from her own experience of building and running a cosmetic clinic, including some of the easily overlooked details that can make a difference to day-to-day operations.

What happens when a GP and dermatologist work side by side? The future of dermatology care may look less like a traditional referral pathway and more like collaboration — a model that could reshape how patients access care. In this episode of Focused Practice Conversations, practice operations expert Matt Woollard speaks with consultant dermatologist Dr Leona Yip and Specialist GP Dr Lauren Ries about their experience working together within the same clinical setting at Skin Partners in Brisbane.

They discuss: How their collaboration first came about and what sparked the model What the patient journey looks like between GP and dermatologist How this approach influences access to care and continuity of treatment The professional impact of working in a derm-focused environment What other clinicians can learn from collaborative models of care They also share the lessons they have learned from working side by side, what surprised them along the way, and their advice for GPs and specialists interested in developing similar approaches.

Starting your own cosmetic clinic can be an exciting step, but clinical expertise is only one part of the equation. Building a safe, compliant and sustainable practice also means navigating regulations, understanding your professional responsibilities, establishing robust systems, and making informed business decisions from day one. In this first instalment of a two-part episode on The Aesthetic Shift podcast, HealthCert educator, nurse practitioner and clinic owner Kelly Beasy shares real-world insights drawn from her own experience of building an aesthetic practice from the ground up. Rather than focusing on treatments, this episode explores the foundations that support a successful clinic, including scope of practice, legislation, documentation, insurance, patient records, consent, and the operational considerations that are easy to overlook. Whether you're planning to start out providing aesthetic services, launch your first clinic, or simply exploring what's involved, this episode offers valuable perspective on the work that happens behind the scenes before the doors even open.

Skin cancer prevention and early detection continue to place increasing pressure on primary care and allied health teams. At the same time, the workforce involved in “skin health” is expanding and evolving, raising important questions about roles, scope, and collaboration in everyday practice. In this episode of Focused Practice Conversations, practice operations expert Matt Woollard speaks with dermatology nurse Jennifer Hookham about how skin health roles are changing in real-world settings. With experience spanning primary care and corporate environments, Jennifer offers a grounded perspective on where the system is heading and what it means for clinicians on the ground. Rather than focusing on fixed job titles, the conversation explores how skills, training, and demand are reshaping who does what in skin checks, prevention, and early detection. The episode unpacks: How Jennifer’s career path into skin health has evolved over time What a modern, prevention-focused skin health role looks like in practice How nurses, dermal clinicians, and GPs are working in overlapping spaces Where collaboration works well, and where it can break down What patients are now expecting from skin health services How training and standards are keeping pace with workforce changes Where the skin health space may be heading over the next 5–10 years As demand grows, understanding how roles fit together is becoming increasingly important for clinics looking to deliver safe, efficient, and patient-centred skin care. The discussion touches on practical realities, emerging models of care, and what effective teamwork can look like. Prefer a visual format? Watch here .

Are you confident diagnosing and managing eczema in patients with skin of colour (SOC)? Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common skin conditions in Australia, yet it often goes unrecognised or is underestimated in patients with SOC. The classic signs we rely on (bright erythema, flexural distribution) may look very different in patients with SOC. The result of this is missed diagnoses, delayed treatment, and real quality-of-life consequences for your patients. This webinar and Q&A with Brisbane-based specialist dermatologist Dr Stephanie Rea takes GPs beyond the textbook to explore how atopic dermatitis truly presents across all skin types. Drawing on relevant clinical cases, Dr Rea shares practical tools to sharpen your diagnostic confidence, navigate the pitfalls, and implement culturally informed management strategies you can put into practice from the very next consultation. Delivered in collaboration with CeraVe, the session teaches you how to: Spot the clinical clues of atopic dermatitis across various skin phototypes Recognise follicular accentuation, papular and discoid variants, and post-inflammatory pigment changes Avoid common diagnostic pitfalls and not-to-miss differentials Understand the role of ceramides and skin barrier repair in this patient population Choose appropriate skin care and prescribe topical and systemic therapies for treating atopic dermatitis in SOC The webinar includes Q&A and case discussions.

Complications are one of the biggest sources of stress in aesthetic practice, not just because of the clinical risk, but because of what happens in the hours and days that follow. In this second instalment of a two-part series on The Aesthetic Shift podcast, NP Kelly Beasy is joined again by solicitor and former AHPRA investigator David Gardner to unpack what actually protects clinicians when things go wrong. What stands out in this conversation is how often the greatest risk doesn’t come from the complication itself, but from what happens next: how clinicians think, document, communicate, and escalate in real time. This episode explores the emotional pattern many practitioners experience, and how that can influence decision-making in the first critical hours. The discussion focuses on the immediate post-complication window: What should be documented straight away Language that can unintentionally create medicolegal vulnerability When apology is appropriate, and how to approach it safely Clear triggers for escalation or referral When to involve your MDO without delay A key focus is what “defensible management” looks like in real-world scenarios, including delayed vascular compromise and unexpected swelling. The conversation also explores what often drives complaints after the initial event is under control, particularly communication breakdowns, documentation gaps, and the amplifying effect of social media. David closes by identifying the most common mistake clinicians make, and what simple system every aesthetic clinic should have in place before anything goes wrong. Complications are part of aesthetic medicine. What protects you is not perfection, but preparation in documentation, escalation, and communication. Tune into the podcast for the full discussion.

Most GPs spend years developing clinical expertise, but sometimes little time is devoted to understanding the financial side of a medical career. Yet financial stress and uncertainty around income can quietly influence workload, career decisions, burnout, and overall job satisfaction. In this episode of Focused Practice Conversations, practice operations expert Matt Woollard speaks with Dr Dev Raga about why financial literacy matters for doctors, and the common blind spots many clinicians face. Drawing on his experience as both a GP and host of the Dev Raga Personal Finance podcast , Dev explores the realities many doctors encounter but rarely discuss openly. The conversation looks at how financial uncertainty can influence day-to-day practice, why many clinicians feel they are “behind” despite working hard, and what changes when GPs gain greater clarity and confidence around money. Importantly, this episode is not about complicated investing strategies or extreme budgeting advice. Instead it focuses on realistic concepts relevant to busy clinicians working in general practice, including: Common financial mistakes GPs make early in their careers Small actions that can have a significant long-term impact How financial literacy can support flexibility and career sustainability Why understanding money is increasingly important across the healthcare system Whether you are early in your GP career or simply looking to make more informed financial decisions, this episode offers a thoughtful starting point. About Dr Dev Raga Dr Dev Raga is a Melbourne-based medical practitioner and the host of the popular Dev Raga Personal Finance podcast (formerly known as my millennial money medical).

In aesthetic practice, it is easy to focus on what is visible and cosmetic: pigmentation, sun damage, redness, texture. But as NP Kelly Beasy and Dr Dianne King highlight in this episode of The Aesthetic Shift podcast, appearances can be misleading. This conversation explores a critical overlap in modern practice: aesthetic treatments and skin cancer vigilance. As aesthetic services expand across general practice and nursing-led clinics, so too does the responsibility to recognise when a lesion is not simply “cosmetic”. Dr King shares insights from decades of experience spanning general practice, GP dermatology, dermoscopy, and skin cancer medicine. Her message is clear: without a structured approach to skin assessment, including appropriate history-taking and lesion recognition, there is a real risk of treating or altering lesions that require medical investigation. The discussion focuses on clinical realities, including: Subtle facial melanomas that may mimic benign pigmentation The risk of altering lesions with lasers, IPL, or cryotherapy before diagnosis Key history and visual cues that should prompt referral The importance of dermoscopy skills and clear referral pathways in aesthetic settings Rather than discouraging aesthetic care, the episode reinforces how skin cancer literacy strengthens it, improving safety, clinical confidence, and patient trust. For GPs, nurses, and aesthetic practitioners working at this intersection, this conversation is a timely reminder that “cosmetic” and “clinical” are often closer than they appear.

Many skin cancer GPs reach a point where they begin asking bigger questions about their scope, sustainability, and long-term career direction. In this webinar, delivered in collaboration with Hugel Aesthetics, Dr Jimmy Wang shares his journey from established skin cancer GP to leading aesthetic practitioner. Dr Wang began his career deeply embedded in skin cancer medicine. Over time, he recognised both the clinical overlap and the business opportunity within aesthetic medicine. What followed was not an overnight pivot, but a deliberate transition built on procedural skill alignment, patient demand, and structured business planning. In this session he unpacks: Why he chose to expand beyond skin cancer The clinical skill crossover between skin procedures and aesthetic medicine How he evaluated financial risk before making the shift The systems changes required at a practice level What surprised him most during the transition For skin cancer doctors who are curious about aesthetics but unsure how to approach it without disrupting their current model, this session offers insights grounded in real experience. The session includes Q&A and case discussions. This webinar is supported by an educational grant from Hugel Aesthetics. Content remains educational in nature. Prefer a visual format?

What does it actually mean to be a “generalist” in 2026? In this episode of Focused Practice Conversations, practice operations expert Matt Woollard sits down with general practitioner Dr Anoop Jalota to explore how general practice is evolving, and how many GPs are building depth across multiple clinical areas without formally specialising. This conversation is about how day-to-day general practice has shifted over time, and what a modern GP’s workload can really look like. The episode unpacks: Whether the idea of being a “generalist” still holds, or if most GPs are naturally moving towards areas of focus How clinical focus areas (mental health, chronic disease, weight management) develop over time — often driven by patient demand rather than deliberate planning What changes when patients begin seeking you out for specific expertise Why weight management is becoming a larger part of general practice What GPs are seeing in consults, and how this area intersects with chronic disease and long-term care The realities of balancing breadth and depth across multiple interests Deciding what to continue and what to step away from as your practice evolves Whether developing focused areas makes practice more sustainable or more complex The role of teaching and education in building credibility and shaping clinical work Whether GPs need to “specialise” to remain relevant in modern practice If you are starting to notice patterns in your own consults or thinking about going deeper in a particular area, this episode offers a grounded, real-world perspective.
