Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) in Australia has entered a highly advanced, mainstream era.  \nNavigating the shift toward robot-assisted surgery (RAS) requires the GP to balance advanced surgical innovation with community-based continuity of care. Managing a patient undergoing RAS involves structured pre-operative counselling, clear suitability criteria, and intensive shared post-operative management. \n\nEmerging technologies and clinical advances in urology, endoscopic spine surgery and joint replacement will be discussed. GPs will be able to confidently discuss treatment options, benefits, limitations and manage patient expectations. GPs will also take a closer look at the use of AI in general practice including potential risks and benefits they may pose. \n\nThis activity is approved by the RACGP for the following CPD hours\nEA: 2\nRP: 3\nMO: 5\n\n# Learning Outcomes\nAt the end of this CPD activity, GP participants will be able to:  \n1. Describe current advances in robotic, minimally invasive, and personalised surgical care. \n2. Discuss the benefits, risks, and evidence for contemporary surgical technologies with patients. \n3. Assess patients for suitability for these approaches and refer appropriately. \n4. Support informed decision-making by explaining treatment expectations and recovery considerations. \n5. Discuss the benefits and risks of the use of AI to improve patient care and workflow within general practice. \n\n# Predisoposing RP Activity\nPlease complete the pre-reading material and the patient case questions **prior to attending the event.** You can find these by clicking on the RP Activity button above.\n\n# Reinforcing RP Activity and MO Activity\nDuring the event, you will receive more information about these activities.
