A GP Education Evening took place in the Bon Secours Hospital Tralee last Thursday the 27th of February. The theme of the event was ‘Role of Infusion Therapies in Parkinson Disease/ Rheumatic Diseases and Anaemia’ with presentations from Consultant Rheumatologist; Dr Peter Browne, Consultant Gastroenterologist; Dr Zulfiqar Hussain and Consultant Neurologist; Dr Helena Moore.

All three presentations were engaging and interactive with the opportunity for the GPs to ask questions and pose scenarios. Dr Browne’s presentation focused on the ‘Role of Infusion Therapies in Rheumatic Diseases’ while Dr Hussain spoke about the ‘Advantages of treating Anaemia with Infusion Therapy’.  Dr Moore discussed the ‘Advanced Therapies for Parkinson’s disease’.  CNM Ann McGlynn also provided an overview of the Infusion Therapy service in the Bon Secours Hospital Tralee. 

The feedback from the GP Education event was positive with the GPs actively participating in the presentations and asking questions throughout the evening.
