Brain Health Masterclass: A Day of Learning and Collaboration

We were thrilled to welcome 70 GPs to our Brain Health Masterclass last weekend at the Langham Hotel Melbourne. This full-day event was delivered in partnership with Brunswick Private Hospital and South Eastern Private Hospital.

With 13 expert presenters, we explored key updates in brain health, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, Treatment Resistant Depression, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more. The sessions were highly practical, featuring case-based discussions that provided valuable insights.

A heartfelt thank you to Lundbeck and Danone for their generous support. We also extend our gratitude to every GP and Specialist Presenter who dedicated their Saturday to learning and teaching. Your commitment to brain health and patient care is truly inspiring.

For those who couldn't make it, we have collated the audio of our sessions below, happy listening.
