BEYOND BONES: The role of Muscle in Falls Prevention
Featuring Professor Alan Hayes
Duration: 45min
Falls and fractures remain a major and growing health burden in Australia, with muscle and bone decline often progressing unnoticed until a significant clinical event occurs.
Join musculoskeletal health expert Professor Alan Hayes for a practical, evidence‑based webinar designed specifically for primary care.
This session will unpack the interconnected roles of sarcopenia, osteoporosis, nutrition, and exercise in fall and fracture prevention. Participants will learn how to integrate simple screening tools—such as Know Your Bones and SARC‑F—into routine consultations, and how to implement proven interventions including resistance exercise, dietary optimisation, and targeted oral nutrition supplementation.
With real‑world insights, clinical evidence (including HMB, protein, and vitamin D), and practical case examples, this webinar will equip clinicians with tools they can use immediately to reduce risk, support recovery, and improve outcomes for older adults.
Beyond Medications: Prioritising Medical Nutrition Therapy for Glycaemic Management
Featuring Professor Sof Andrikopoulos
Duration: 30min
This webinar will explore how Diabetes‑Specific Nutritional Formulas (DSNFs) can be effectively integrated into personalised care plans, particularly when whole‑food dietary changes are not achievable or when therapeutic goals remain unmet. Professor Andrikopoulos will unpack the Clinical Practice Guide and share practical, real‑world case studies demonstrating how DSNFs support improvements in HbA1c, reduce medication burden, and help preserve lean mass—especially important when patients are using GLP‑1 receptor agonists.
Make muscle screening and assessment count in cancer care
Featuring Rachel Fletcher is an Accredited Practising Dietitian
Duration: 30 min
Muscle loss is a critical yet often under-assessed factor in cancer care, influencing treatment tolerance, recovery, and overall nutrition outcomes. In this practical Lunch & Learn, Rachel Fletcher, oncology dietitian and Founder of Upbeet Nutrition and Dietetics, shares how she successfully implemented muscle screening and assessment across private oncology centres in Sydney. You’ll learn how to select the right tools, integrate screening into routine workflows, and manage common barriers in busy clinical settings, with guidance informed by the COSA Implementation Toolkit. Rachel will also share how screening results directly shape nutrition goals, intervention timing, and patient engagement. You will walk away with clear, real-world strategies to confidently embed muscle screening into your oncology practice.
Are You Testing Muscle Health? Why Every GP Should Be
Featuring Dr Sneha Wadhwani and Dr Anita Munoz
Duration: 15 min
Over 80% of Australian GPs believe they should screen for sarcopenia, yet few currently do so, primarily due to limited access to tools or training.
In this episode, we discuss the Muscle Health Algorithm, a GP-friendly resource designed to help detect and manage poor muscle health before it leads to sarcopenia.
Learn how to perform the handgrip strength and five-times sit-to-stand tests, identify at-risk patients over 50, and confidently start interventions that maintain independence and quality of life in older Australians.
