Point-of-care, point-of-impact: Accelerating diabetes care in clinics across Australia
Immediate, reliable test results are transforming treatment decisions and improving outcomes for Indigenous communities
Join us in raising awareness and celebrating innovation in diabetes care!
Diabetes affects over 589 million adults worldwide, with numbers projected to reach 853 million by 2050. Among the most impacted populations are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia, where diabetes rates have surged by nearly 40% in the past decade.
The QAAMS program leverages point-of-care testing (POCT) to provide immediate, reliable HbA1c and ACR results. As the principle POCT operators, Aboriginal health professionals build trusted relationships with patients and embed cultural governance into care.
See how QAAMS is transforming chronic disease management for Indigenous Australians.
In this educational webinar, the following topics are discussed by the listed presenters:
The Role of Point-of-Care Troponin Testing in Acute Cardiac Care
Presenter | Prof Rick Body
Impact of rapid hs-cTn-based ESC-algorithms for the Patients & the Healthcare System
Presenter | Prof Christian Mueller
IFCC Committee consensus on clinical applications of cardiac biomarkers
Presenter | Prof Paul Collinson

Transforming Patient Care with Point-of-Care CRP Testing
Join Us for an Exclusive Webinar: Transforming Patient Care with Point-of-Care CRP Testing
Discover how point-of-care C-reactive protein (CRP) testing is revolutionising clinical decision-making, empowering healthcare professionals to quickly distinguish between viral and bacterial infections in the community. This not only enhances antimicrobial stewardship but also helps keep patients at home, reducing unnecessary trips to the ED.
Hosted by Una Health, this webinar will explore the powerful impact CRP testing can have on patient pathways, providing timely care where it is needed – in the patient’s home. Don’t miss this chance to be part of an engaging discussion.
Enhancing clinical decision making, a clinician's perspective
Understand how CRP POCT is:
- helping with clinical decision-making
- avoiding unnecessary antimicrobial prescribing and hospital admissions
- benefitting the patients
CRP testing at the point of care: Supporting implementation, a POCT managers perspective
Understand how point of care teams are helping clinical teams implement lab quality, traceable results at the point of care.
All hands on deck: diabetes screening in the dental setting
Learn how dentists can help improve early detection and management of diabetes with POC HbA1c tests
Non-communicable diseases increase in prevalence as the population ages. They are the major cause of mortality and healthcare expenditure globally. Diabetes, a major type of noncommunicable disease¹, currently affects 10.5% of adults globally, with almost half unaware that they are living with the condition².
In this episode of ADLM Laborastories, Siemens Healthineers POC Medical Director Dr. Ian Lentnek talks with Dr. Zehra Yonel, Academic Clinical Lecturer at University of Birmingham in the UK. Dr. Yonel shares her insights and latest research on how allied healthcare professionals like dentists can help address this public health concern, through early screening.
