Overview
This essential course for GPs, fully updated for 2012, will help you keep up to date with the latest evidence, new guidelines and best practice in three important areas of primary care.
The programme will begin with two highly practical, case-based sessions aimed at simplifying the challenging topic of diabetes. Our expert speakers will give you a complete 'walk through' of the patient journey including initial diagnosis, management, new treatments and potential complications to be aware of.
After an update on the latest evidence in chronic kidney disease, the day will continue with three sessions covering key areas of cardiology that you may encounter in primary care. Our speakers will cover the latest NICE guidelines that you should be aware of, with plenty of time to get your questions answered.
You will learn about:
- Diabetes diagnosis and management in a nutshell
