This Women's Heart Health Practice Intensive is the first of its kind, specifically designed to help you see women’s cardiovascular risk differently, act earlier, communicate more effectively, and create meaningful change in day-to-day practice.

At its core is a simple but powerful shift: you can’t treat what you’re not looking for.

The Women's Heart Health Practice Intensive begins May!

The first live webinar is on Tuesday 19 May, 5.30pm (AEST).

The Women's Heart Health Practice Intensive will run over five weeks, covering a new topic each week.

Dr Jennifer Coller will host weekly, short live webinars. Together, the topics will explore the clinical and system factors that continue to contribute to underrecognition, delayed diagnosis and poorer heart health outcomes for women.

What makes this different from an online course?

The Women's Heart Health Practice Intensive is a facilitated practice-change program, NOT a self-paced course.

  • Participants will be supported to:

  • Apply learning directly to their own clinical context.

  • Reflect on clinical decision-making and areas of uncertainty.

  • Explore models of care that support sustainability.

  • Consider equity, access, and system constraints in everyday practice.

  • The pace is deliberate and supportive. The goal is not to rush or overwhelm, but to create learning that can be realistically integrated into everyday clinical practice.

  • N.B. It is expected that most participants will invest approximately 45–75 minutes per week to the Practice Intensive. The structure is intentionally designed to fit around real clinical workloads.
