Enhance your skills in managing your patient's medications and rationalising their drug regime.
We are witnessing a surge in complex clinical cases, coupled with patients relying on a multitude of medications. This poses significant challenges as we strive to provide the best possible care. However, the good news is that you can stay ahead of the curve with the latest strategies and techniques.
During this compelling webinar, Lara Zakaria unravels the realities of modern patient care and sheds light on the escalating complexities surrounding medication use. With a growing chronic disease burden and patients juggling extensive medication lists, it's crucial to address potential issues head-on. Lara's expertise will empower you to identify and rectify medication misuse, thereby mitigating adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, falls, cognitive impairment, and hospitalisations.
When used responsibly, medication can have a tremendous and often life-saving impact on disease management. However, with polypharmacy comes increased risk of drug interactions, medication errors, and adverse drug reactions. Furthermore, are the significantly increased economic costs and burden on health systems. We have to also consider patients who express dissatisfaction with their medication, either due to inadequate response, side effects, or costs which drives them to seek alternatives.
As a result, there’s a demand for a more holistic approach to medication management (e.g. diet, nutraceutical-drug interactions, DIND, etc.) as well as safe de-prescribing guidelines especially within the context of a Functional Medicing framework.
During this session we weigh the various considerations for safe and effective, evidence-informed, deprescribing in clinical practice. Gain practical insights that will set you apart in providing exceptional patient care. Whether you work directly with prescriptions or not, as a healthcare provider, monitoring your patients' medications is a crucial aspect of your role.
