Gout is a common and treatable form of inflammatory arthritis. Advances in gout management, particularly in the effective use of allopurinol and colchicine, help improve outcomes for New Zealanders with gout. In this webinar, Professor Nicola Dalbeth will provide a clinical update, and provide information about new resources for health providers to support effective gout management.
This video is a recording of the live webinar hosted by Mobile Health and presented by Professor Dalbeth on Thursday 14 March. It is suitable for all primary care health professionals.
