Valproate Use In Bipolar Disorder - A Concise Clinical Overview

£95 (Entire Course)

Valproate is an important medicine used in the management of bipolar disorder. However, its use is subject to important safety requirements, particularly in relation to reproductive risks and the measures introduced by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Healthcare professionals involved in prescribing, dispensing and supporting people taking valproate need to understand these requirements and how they apply in clinical practice.

Valproate Use in Bipolar Disorder – A Concise Clinical Overview is a specialist, CPD-accredited online training course designed for healthcare professionals involved in the care of people living with bipolar disorder who are prescribed valproate.

Across two interactive modules, learners will explore the management of patients taking valproate, with particular focus on the PREVENT Pregnancy Prevention Programme and the use of valproate in male patients under 55 years.

Develop your knowledge, strengthen your understanding of current safety requirements and support the safe and effective management of people living with bipolar disorder.
