Book onto course

This course, in collaboration with OxCERPC, will enable you to reflect upon the current issues affecting patients and practitioners, consider issues of shared decision-making, the use of devices and when/how to stop their use, and issues around medication.

Chaired by Dr Mary Miller

Course Aims

Heart Failure is on the increase, affecting over 900,000 people in the UK (RCN, 2022). It is pertinent to discuss the issues affecting our patient population, such as: when is the right time to discuss the use of devices. How should we involve the patient in making decisions? When, and how, do we rationalise medications? Join us to hear experts discuss these issues and more in what promises to be a stimulating and informative session.
