The role of the HCP in managing digestive health: webinar

With IBS affecting up to 40% of people and some IBS patients visiting their GP eight to ten times a year, it has never been more important for GPs to keep up to date with how they can best support their patients with digestive health issues.

This session covers the presentation of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in clinical practice, the Rome IV diagnostic criteria and evidence-based lifestyle interventions for IBS. We’ll also unpack the key considerations when recommending a probiotic and discuss when and why to refer to a dietitian or gastroenterologist.
