Managing Multimorbidity – Diabetes and setting priorities among comorbidities (Recorded webinar)

Multimorbidity is common in Australia and New Zealand, with around 5 million and 3.5 million, respectively, individuals having two or more common chronic conditions. With increasing life expectancy, multimorbidity is becoming a major concern in primary care.

General practitioners have reported challenges, such as fragmented care, lack of clinical guidelines other than those developed for single diseases, limited consultation time when managing patients with multimorbidity.

Learning objectives: Upon completing this course, you will be able to:

• Use a patient-centred approach to identify and prioritise areas requiring treatment in patients with multimorbidity
• Use a multimorbidity care model to structure patient consultations
• Formulate and apply strategies that enhance patient–clinician communication to aid patient education and improve patient care and safety.
