Program at a
Glance
This one day program is for all pharmacists who want to have a better understanding of
managing people with HIV. With changes to the availability of HIV antiretrovirals from July
2015, these workshops will be particularly valuable to pharmacists with little or no recent
experience in dispensing these medicines.
Topics include:
■ An overview of HIV infection, viral transmission and disease management
■ HIV medicines including the products available, their modes of action, dosing considerations, managing interactions and adverse events. Individualisation of treatment and clinical monitoring will also be covered.
■ Interactive dispensing- patient adherence and counselling
■ The social, personal and emotional aspects of HIV
The program will involve lectures, group discussion and case studies.
