A Focus On Clozapine-Induced Gastrointestinal Hypomotility (CIGH)

£70 (Entire Course)

Clozapine-induced gastrointestinal hypomotility (CIGH) is a serious and potentially life-threatening side effect associated with clozapine treatment. It can affect the normal movement of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to constipation and, in severe cases, significant complications.

Recognising the signs of CIGH, understanding the associated risk factors and knowing how to support prevention and management are important aspects of caring for people taking clozapine.

A Focus on Clozapine-Induced Gastrointestinal Hypomotility (CIGH) is a specialist, CPD-accredited online training course designed for healthcare professionals directly involved in clozapine care.

This interactive module explores the prevention, identification and treatment of CIGH and constipation, helping learners develop their understanding of this important area of clozapine safety.

The course can also be tailored to incorporate relevant aspects of your organisation's clozapine policy or local guidelines.
