Holding Risk with Care: Form 1 Decision‑Making in Family Medicine

When a patient discloses thoughts of self‑harm or harm to others, family physicians are often faced with one of the most complex and high‑stakes decisions in clinical practice: whether to complete a Form 1. In this session, our panelists will unpack the Ontario legal framework behind Form 1, what “reasonable grounds” and “serious bodily harm” actually look like in real office settings, and how to document and navigate these situations with confidence. We’ll explore how to have these conversations with skill, involve the right supports, and preserve, or even strengthen,  the physician-patient relationship. The session will also create space to acknowledge and address the emotional and professional toll these decisions take on family doctors. The Practising Well Community of Practice has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to 1 Mainpro+Ⓡcredits. This Community of Practice includes a series of planned webinars. Each session is worth 1 Mainpro+Ⓡcredits, for up to a total of 12 credits.

Clinical Application of the Long-Term Care (LTC) Fracture Prevention Recommendations for Frail Older Adults

Long-term care (LTC) residents are more dependent, frail and vulnerable, and require more complex care than community-dwelling older adults. Yet many interventions intended to reduce fracture risk are not used consistently in LTC, and clinical practice guidelines for osteoporosis have focused on the care of adults living in the community. This program aims to address existing care gaps by illustrating the application of pharmacological and non-pharmacological fracture prevention recommendations with frail older adults in LTC. After active engagement in this program, participants will be better able to: Presented by: Alexandra Papaioannou BScN, MD, MSc, FRCP(C), FACP Professor of Medicine/Geriatric Medicine, McMaster University Executive Director, GERAS Centre, Hamilton Health Sciences Sidney Feldman, MD, CCFP, FCFP  Chief, Department of Family and Community Medicine, Baycrest Health Sciences Associate Professor, Family and Community Medicine, University of Toronto Delivered in collaboration with the Ontario Osteoporosis Strategy.
