The RSV Mother and Infant Protection Program (RSV-MIPP) - A practical guide to the GP's Role

By the end of this activity, you will be able to: 
  1. Describe RSV immunisation of pregnant women under the NIP to best cocoon their baby against RSV once born.
  2. List the indications for nirsevimab in infants born from the advent of the RSV-MIPP onwards across Australia.
  3. List the indications for catch-up nirsevimab in infants born before advent of RSV-MIPP and approaching their first RSV season across Australia.
  4. List the indications for catch-up nirsevimab in infants born before advent of RSV-MIPP and approaching their second RSV season across Australia.
  5. Determine correct dose of nirsevimab for eligible infants as above.
  6. Describe how practice systems can aid in identifying and recalling pregnant women for RSV immunisation and eligible infants as above for nirsevimab.
  7. Determine the resources and correct information for the RSV-MIPP according to the state you work in.
The new national RSV Mother and Infant Protection Program (RSV-MIPP) places General Practitioners at the forefront of protecting both pregnant women and infants from the risks of Respiratory Syncytial Virus. This session provides a practical guide to help you navigate your pivotal role within this important public health initiative.

    Learning outcomes

    By the end of this activity, you will be able to: 
    1. Describe the salient features on history and examination of a preschool-aged child presenting with acute cough that facilitates a rational diagnosis and exclusion of common differential diagnoses.
    2. Summarise the pathophysiological and clinical differences between bronchiolitis and croup.
    3. Outline an approach to assessing disease severity in preschool children with bronchiolitis and croup.
    4. Detail an approach to diagnosing viral-associated wheeze, multi-trigger wheeze and asthma in young children.
    This on-demand video examines the many and varied types and causes of both acute and chronic cough in pre-school aged children. A framework for synthesising history and examination findings into a rational diagnosis, at the exclusion of recognised differential diagnoses will be discussed. The importance of RSV-associated illnesses bronchiolitis and croup will be explored as common causes of acute cough in children under 5 years of age, while viral associated wheeze, multiple-trigger wheeze and asthma will be explored as common causes of chronic daily cough in young children.

      The educational event aims to reorient practitioners in the community setting to the evolving epidemiology of RSV in Australia. While RSV can lead to children becoming severely unwell and hospitalised, the majority of children will be assessed in the first instance by their GP.

        Learning outcomes

        By the end of this activity, you will be able to: 
        1. Describe the changing epidemiology, symptomatic presentations, and severity of RSV in the post-COVID restriction environment in Australia.
        2. Outline an approach to clinical and laboratory diagnosis of RSV in children and the requirements for infectious disease notifications and surveillance.
        3. Understand the pathophysiology of RSV in children, its impacts on at-risk populations, and capacity for long-term sequelae.
        4. List the evidence-based investigations and management of RSV in the community, and contrast that approach to the care given for severe disease in the tertiary setting.
        5. Summarise the emerging treatments and preventive measures for RSV that will become available in the Australian context in the near future
