| 09:05 - 10:20 | Diabetes – Have the cardiovascular risks diminished?***
Professor Anthony Barnett, Consultant Physician and Clinical Director of Diabetes and Endocrinology, University of Birmingham and Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham
Given an ageing population, increasing prevalence of obesity, along with increasingly sedentary lifestyles, the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes is, unsurprisingly, also increasing. Should diabetes take its place alongside the other major risk factors, as an important cause of cardiovascular disease? This session will examine and analyze the latest clinical evidence in diabetes management and present practical solutions for the management of these high risk patients.

| 10:40 - 11:20 | The Real Cost of Erectile Dysfunction*
Dr Geoff Hackett, GP and Consultant in Sexual Medicine, Good Hope Hospital, Sutton Coldfield
There is increasing evidence that erectile dysfunction (ED) affects large numbers of men and that it can be an early warning sign for physical health problems that need to be addressed in primary care. This session provides some clarity and guidance to help GPs to treat the ED efficiently and highlights the opportunity to identify any potential underlying diseases such as Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and diabetes. This talk may include a discussion around the use of PDE5 inhibitors for the treatment of ED.

| 11:20 - 12:10 | Localised Neuropathic Pain - Diagnosing and Managing in the Primary Care Setting****
Dr Greg Hobbs, Consultant in Pain Management, Queens Medical Centre UHN NHS Trust, Nottingham
Neuropathic pain is relatively common and likely to affect 2-4% of the general population. It can be very distressing for patients and challenging to treat effectively in primary care. Getting a good history and description of pain is critical to treating neuropathic pain, since appropriate treatments may be uncomplicated and can be started early in primary care before having to refer to specialist pain clinics. |

| 12:40 - 13:55 | The Evolving Practice of Hypertension Management**
Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and GP Trainer, London
Getting to grips with essential hypertension is enshrined in no fewer than 14 clinical indicators in the QOF for 2009/2010 – impacting on coronary heart disease and heart failure, diabetes, stroke and chronic kidney disease. Managing to blood-pressure targets is not always straightforward, but there is good evidence that risk stratification amongst patients, combined with a range of therapeutic modalities, can deliver significant benefit to those who need it most.
