Hobart Private Hospital Presents: From Consultation to Referral

Join us for an educational dinner focused on the management of

knee pain in general practice.

Knee pain presents across all age groups- from acute sporting

injuries to progressive degenerative disease- and remains a

frequent and sometimes challenging presentation in primary care.

This session, led by Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr Stephen

Hutchinson, will explore the continuum of knee conditions,

providing practical, evidence-based guidance to support GPs in

both early management and timely referral.

Learning outcomes

1. Assess and manage common sports-related knee injuries,

including ligament and meniscal pathology

2. Apply evidence-based approaches to osteoarthritis and

degenerative knee conditions

3. Identify which patients benefit from conservative

management vs surgical intervention

4. Understand indications and timing for procedures ranging

from arthroscopy to total knee arthroplasty

5. Optimise imaging decisions and reduce unnecessary

investigations

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
