Pulse Check 2026

Saturday 5th September | Pathology and Education Building, Gold Coast University Hospital

Join us for a transformative one-day conference designed exclusively for GPs. Cardiovascular Update for Primary Care. Breakthroughs, Trends & Guidelines in Practice.

In a rapidly evolving field, staying current is no longer optional – it’s essential. This practical, case-based education day distils the latest advances into actionable strategies you can use in your very next consultation. Walk away confident in the newest diagnostic pathways, risk stratification tools, and guideline updates that are reshaping cardiovascular care.

Our expert faculty will unpack what emerging therapies – from novel lipid-lowering agents to cutting-edge anti-thrombotics – mean for your patients today. You’ll explore realistic implementation of heart failure management in the community, the integration of cardiac imaging and biomarkers, and how digital health and wearables are changing monitoring and follow-up. Dedicated sessions will tackle hypertension targets, atrial fibrillation detection and stroke prevention, and post-MI optimisation, all framed around the latest national and international guidelines.

Beyond the science, you’ll engage in interactive ECG workshops and complex case discussions that bridge the gap between specialist recommendations and the realities of general practice. Network with peers, exchange clinical pearls, and earn valuable CPD hours in a relaxed, collegial environment.

Equip yourself to deliver earlier detection, smarter prevention, and confident lifelong cardiovascular care. Join your colleagues and become the cardiology champion your patients needs.
