Defeat Diabetes education weekend at Ratho Farm.

Join Professor Peter Brukner OAM and a team of leading clinicians for a free, in-person CPD weekend.

Learn how Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction (TCR) can help patients with type 2 diabetes achieve better glycaemic control, reduce medications, and, in many cases, reach remission. The program covers evidence-based strategies, practical case studies, safe deprescribing, and real-world tools for GPs.

Accredited by the RACGP for 6 CPD hours for one day or 10.5 hours for the full weekend.
