Event Overview
Essentials Webinar Series is a programme of webinars – broadcast live – providing expert specialist clinical training and essential information. These webinars are recorded live and are available for delegates to access freely for six months after the webinar date.
Following the recent news that the GLP-1 agonist tripeptide has been approved by NICE for use outside of hospital settings, this evening webinar aims to enhance understanding of these medications and looks at the way in which they may affect your day-to-day practice. Including prescribing process and logistical elements which you may face as a GP.
Not only will we look at prescribing but also factor into us all seeing more and more patients walk through our doors using weight loss injections privately. These talks will help you better understand all the considerations for providing weight loss injections and provide useful take home tips and updates around what to discuss with patients, including lifestyle advice.
This evening webinar will run from 19:00 to 20:30 and will include plenty of time at the end to ask questions of the expert speaker and chair.
Learning objectives:
- Understand GLP-1 agonists currently for patients living with obesity
- Discuss potential benefits, risks and side effects of these medications
