Course Description

Have you ever felt stuck with your patients with medical complexity? Where there are so many variables and the risk is so high, it's difficult to justify putting them on a diet or advancing their diet. When the complexity is high, the risk is higher, and the stakes are highest, what makes a good decision? 

It's simple. No. It's not easy. It takes time, effort, and a lot of dedication, but it is simple. In this presentation, insights and guidance are demonstrated through a concise package of stories and practical takeaways. It concludes with a case study to show how to put the theories into practice.
