CME Series | Multidisciplinary Approach to Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
General practice is the first line of care, where early signs are recognised, risks are assessed, and timely decisions make all the difference. But when it comes to Atrial Fibrillation (AF), early recognition and the right referral can change everything.
Would you know when to treat, when to monitor, or when to refer a patient with irregular heartbeat?
The Multidisciplinary AF Session brings together primary care doctors and specialists for a practical, case-based discussion on managing atrial fibrillation, from diagnosis to referral pathways.
Hear directly from a Cardiologist & Electrophysiologist and a Nephrologist & General Physician as they share real-world insights on AF management, comorbidities, and how a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach improves patient outcomes.
Because managing AF doesn’t start in the hospital alone.
It starts with the right decision in primary care.
