Expression of interest: TransfusEd workshop for GPs: Anaemia in primary care

This workshop aims to provide general practitioners and practice nurses with an update on anaemia and iron deficiency in primary care.

Participants will be provided with tools to enable them to:
• identify patients with iron deficiency and anaemia and determine underlying pathology
• interpret laboratory investigations to diagnose iron deficiency and anaemia
• apply the principles of prescribing and administering iron therapy in practice with a focus on patient blood management, and
• incorporate the use of practical tools such as algorithms for anaemia and patient handouts to guide treatment for iron deficiency and anaemia.
The workshop will be interactive with case studies, expert input, clinical tools and more.
