16 March 2022. An MUS Webinar with a discussion between specialist pharmacists

Date

16 March 2022

Location

Online via Webex 13.00 - 14.00

About the Event

Our speakers shared their experiences of patients with autoimmune disease related depression and anti-TNF depression.  The session explored the results from a question delivered via a social media platform to gain a broad understanding of current knowledge and potential opportunities for learning and upskilling healthcare professionals in this area.

Why it’s important

Pharmacists across sectors are in a position to identify patients who may have developed side effects to a newly prescribed anti-TNF medicine, especially those experiencing depression. This is a very important topic to raise awareness as it can have a negative impact on patient’s lives.

What was covered

The webinar focused on:

  • Discussing the results from a question delivered via social media about anti-TNFs and depression as an adverse drug reaction.
  • Discussing depression as an adverse drug reaction in patients with chronic disease.
  • Discussing IBD standards and psychology service in Brighton and Cambridge.
