Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB): What GPs need to know

AUB is a common presentation in general practice — and the national approach to managing it is changing.

This webinar introduces updated clinical guidelines and a nationwide rollout to support pipelle biopsy and Mirena insertion in primary care. Learn how to identify endometrial cancer earlier and integrate new tools and training into your practice. Join us to learn what’s changing, why it matters, and how you can be part of improving outcomes for your patients.

Topics:
• New national guidelines for AUB - Learn about the updated clinical advice, including why pipelle biopsy is now the first-line investigation for those with risk factors for endometrial cancer.
• What’s normal? - Understand what constitutes normal versus abnormal menstrual bleeding to support timely and appropriate assessment.
• Early detection and risk assessment -Endometrial cancer is increasingly seen in Maori and Pacific women under 45 —often diagnosed late. Learn how to assess risk early, including the impact of comorbidities like diabetes and obesity.
• Primary care rollout - Explore the practical rollout of pipelle biopsy and Mirena insertion, including training and support for primary care teams.
• HealthPathways – using the new AUB pathway at the point of care.
