  2. Identify effective pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for glycaemic, lipid, and blood pressure control.

 

  1. Evaluate the role of newer agents (e.g., SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists) in reducing cardiovascular risk.

 

  1. Apply practical strategies for multidisciplinary team working to optimise cardiometabolic outcomes.
    5. Reflect on personal clinical practice and identify one or two actionable changes to improve patient care.
