Preventing new HIV infections is one of the most important steps towards curbing the HIV epidemic. Pharmacists are ideally placed to support prevention strategies that can reduce the risk of transmission, including advice on safer sex practices, supporting the use of pre- or post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP/PEP) and supporting harm reduction strategies for intravenous drug users. Managing and optimising treatments in people living with HIV is another important way in which pharmacists can contribute. This event aims to explore options on how to assess and support patients, establish adherence strategies, manage side effects, provide counselling on lifestyle factors, and make appropriate referrals. Further, this event aims to provide skills to optimise HIV therapy, identify and resolve medication-related problems, collaborate with the care team, and empower patients to improve health outcomes.

Medication management is particularly important for people living with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) due to the increased likelihood of co-morbidities. This often leads to the need for multiple pharmacological therapies, resulting in polypharmacy. Close medication management between pharmacists and CVD patients is essential to ensure effective achievement of treatment goals, ensure adherence and reduce the incidence of unpleasant or fatal side effects, thereby reducing the burden of CVD. This digital event will address the importance of proper medication management and adherence in the successful management of CVD, the factors associated with non-adherence to CVD medications, and the economic impact of pharmacist interventions on CVD medication adherence.

Migraine is a neurological disorder with intense headaches and various symptoms, which affects the quality of life of millions of people. Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a debilitating condition caused by excessive use of pain relievers, often to manage chronic headaches. Pharmacists play a crucial role in the management of both conditions by advising patients about proper medication usage, suggesting non-pharmacological interventions and lifestyle changes, and collaborating with other healthcare professionals to ensure patients receive appropriate care. This event will explore different options for the management of migraine and MOH and provide guidance on how pharmacists may support patients.
