Activity descriptionThis activity focuses on the early recognition, prevention and management of sepsis and septic shock in long-term care settings, guided by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Sepsis 2021.

Guardianship can provide safe and healthy care for individuals with special health care needs. Familiarity with the requirements and processes surrounding the assignment of legal guardianship is essential for health care professionals (HCPs) to competently determine guardianship eligibility. This activity will provide an overview of the types of guardianship that exist, how the need for a guardian is determined and the process of establishing guardianship. It will help guide HCPs through common issues and challenges that may arise during this process, including the need for determining the individual’s competency. HCPs will also gain insight into how to identify circumstances that may require further intervention and review indications that ethics committee involvement or risk management processes may be necessary. 

Activity descriptionThis on-demand webcast will explore the scope and impact of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in long-term care (LTC) settings, including prevalence, costs and clinical challenges.

This on-demand webcast aims to equip primary care providers with the knowledge and tools necessary for the early identification and management of atrial fibrillation (AFib). Participants will review the epidemiology and risk factors associated with AFib, explore the clinical decision-making process for rate versus rhythm control, and apply current evidence-based guidelines for stroke prevention. Emphasis will be placed on practical approaches to risk stratification, shared decision-making, and optimizing long-term outcomes in the primary care setting.
