GP UPDATE guide 2025

Practical insights for general practice — with pathways to deeper learning

A concise, practical guide for Australian GPs covering common clinical presentations, including gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, cervical screening, contraception, obesity and knee osteoarthritis.

The GP Update Guide 2025 translates recent guideline updates and GP Update education into clear, real-world strategies you can apply in everyday practice — and highlights where further Medicare and documentation guidance may be helpful.
