Yet, recognising when hormonal factors are driving the condition, or when hormonal therapy should be considered, is challenging.¹ As evidence supporting hormonal treatments for acne accumulates,²,³ GPs need a practical, evidence-based approach for managing acne. \n\nIn this webinar, dermatologist Dr Alex Coe, gynaecologist Dr Nasreen Shamas, and GP Dr Anita Muñoz integrate current evidence into a practical framework for managing hormonal acne in women. Through a longitudinal patient case, the panel discusses acne pathophysiology, first-line management, indications for combined oral contraceptives and spironolactone, counselling strategies, practical prescribing considerations, when to investigate for underlying disorders, or refer for specialist care.³⁻⁵ \n\nThe webinar features an extensive live Q&A. Guided by a multidisciplinary panel, you will be exposed to challenging clinical scenarios and receive practical insights that can be applied in your practice.\n\n# Learning Outcomes\n1. Apply current evidence when choosing appropriate acne management for women, including hormonal and non-hormonal options.\n2. Review the evidence base and risk profile of hormonal acne treatment options - including combined oral contraceptives and spironolactone - to support shared decision-making.\n3. Identify when to refer a patient with hormonal acne, including recognising signs that warrant further endocrine investigation.\n\n***This activity has Reviewing Performance and Measuring Outcomes activities available by clicking the RP and MO buttons above.***\n\n# Provider\nThe Provider of this activity is [Praxhub](/orgs/1).
