Recognising immune-related adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

In this webinar, Gareth will focus on immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in primary care, noting that while systemic therapies are initiated by specialists, primary care practitioners need to be aware of and potentially manage irAEs.

Patient safety relies on the early recognition, investigation and management of irAEs and effective coordination between primary and secondary care.
