This RNZCGP-endorsed education module (2 of 2) created by ThinkGP, provides guidance on providing a patient-centred approach with a focus on quality of life and incorporating the multidisciplinary team.
ME/CFS is a complex, chronic, debilitating disease with systemic effects. This module aims to educate GPs, and others working in the primary care space, to evaluate and reconsider management of ME/CFS based on the latest developments in our understanding of ME/CFS pathophysiology.
The module also looks at exclusionary conditions, mimics and false diagnoses, to aid the accurate diagnosis of ME/CFS, and at planning strategies for managing non-core symptoms of ME/CFS including gastrointestinal symptoms and neurological symptoms, and for managing specific populations with ME/CFS (i.e. the severely unwell, young patients and those undergoing surgery).
M.E. Awareness NZ in collaboration with the RNZCGP is excited to announce that this module has been endorsed as part of the RNZCGP continuing medical education program (CME) for New Zealand doctors and medical professionals. The 1 hour module is worth up to 1 RNZCGP credits on completion.
The module covers:
Differential diagnosis
Non-core symptoms of ME/CFS
Management in specific populations
Development of a patient-centred treatment plan
The “Ensuring a patient-centred approach to care for people living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)” e-learning activity, has been endorsed by The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) and has been approved for up to 1 CME credit for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) purposes.
