The Ghana Jardiance CKD Indication Launch is a virtual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training program designed to enhance clinical understanding and practical application in the management of Cardio-Renal Metabolic conditions. The growing recognition of the interconnected nature of the cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic (CRM) systems has reshaped the way clinicians approach chronic disease management. This course is designed to provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to integrate the latest evidence and guidelines into daily clinical practice, with a particular focus on chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Participants will begin by exploring the inter-relationship between the heart, kidneys, and metabolic pathways, gaining insights into how dysfunction in one system can drive complications in the others. Building on this foundation, the course will provide practical strategies for diagnosing and identifying CKD in its earliest stages—an essential step in preventing disease progression and reducing long-term complications.
A key component of the program will focus on closing the gaps between guideline recommendations and real-world practice. Participants will learn how to apply current CKD guidelines more effectively to drive superior patient outcomes, using case discussions and evidence-based approaches tailored for primary care and specialty settings.
The course will also take a deep dive into the EMPA-Kidney trial, equipping participants with a clear understanding of its findings and practical implications. By unpacking the data and translating it into actionable insights, clinicians will be better prepared to incorporate emerging therapies and strategies into comprehensive care plans.
Through this integrated approach, the course aims to strengthen the capacity of healthcare providers to deliver high-quality, guideline-informed care that addresses the complexities of the CRM system and improves patient outcomes across diverse clinical settings.
Facilitated by internationally recognized experts in cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology, the session will provide evidence-based perspectives, real-world applications, and emerging strategies for improved patient care. Highlights include a high-level panel discussion, interactive Q&A sessions, and focused topic presentations including:
