New RegistrationPri-Med Update, Edinburgh
Thursday, 15 May 2008
Event ReviewOver 200 GPs, attended Pri-Med Update, Edinburgh, which made it the largest meeting in Scotland in the history of Pri-Med Educational Programmes. The meeting was chaired by Dr Gordon Martin and Dr John Steyn.
Delegates in attendance were engaged in 5 educational sessions discussing ‘Hypertension and Stroke Prevention’, ‘Elevating Asthma Control in Primary Care through Patient Centred Asthma Management’, the ‘Management of Cardiovascular Risk in the Type 2 Diabetic Patient’ and how ‘Lower is Better for Cholesterol Patients.’ Additionally, Professor Barnett presented a session looking at the importance of adopting a holistic approach to the management of obesity.
Uniquely, the delegates also benefited from the launch of the new Pri-Med Mini Clinics, where delegates had the opportunity to converse with expert clinicians in Mental Health and Dermatology. Dr Danny Kemmet, Consultant Dermatologist for the The Dermatology Service in Edinburgh and Dr Roger Smyth, consultant psychiatrist at the Department of Psychological Medicine, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh then presented a short refresher outlining the frequently asked questions from the day.
