Questions for self-reflective learning

We encourage you to digest the content in the videos by reflecting on the following questions. We estimate this should take around 20 minutes.

Thinking about your own cross functional MDT, what opportunities are there for informal communication and reflective team learning?

How do you identify and manage adverse events with prescribing combination therapies?

How can clinicians support patients to recognise and report adverse events to ensure early intervention management and initiate adverse event protocols?

Adverse events should be reported. Adverse event reporting forms and information can be found at the bottom of this page.
