This seminar challenges GPs to recognise the subtle, delayed, and often minimised symptoms seen in male patients, from sleep apnoea and erectile dysfunction to cardiac murmurs, pancreatitis, injuries, and hernias. By exploring how work, behaviour, and reluctance to seek care shape men’s presentations, this program equips clinicians to spot red flags sooner, question assumptions, and intervene earlier—because in men’s health, by the time they come in, it already matters

This activity is approved by the RACGP for the following CPD hours
EA: 2
RP: 3
MO: 5
