CLASS: Beyond medicines for gout
The CLASS suite of education activities has been designed in accordance with the NZ Pharmacy Council recertification requirements. Although this CLASS activity is suitable for all healthcare professionals who have read the article Beyond medicines for gout, GPs and nurses may prefer to complete a multichoice quiz assessment instead - available here.
The suite of CLASS activities provides meaningful independent and peer group learning that you can put into action, while helping you complete your annual recertification requirements.
You can choose how many elements you wish to undertake, depending on your professional development plan, but it is recommended that you complete both CLASStime and CLASSact before CLASSmates.
