SUMMARY:Holding Risk with Care: Form 1 Decision‑Making in Family Medicine
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nPanelists:\n\n\n\n\nDr. Sean Moore\n\n\n\nBrooke Smith\n\n\n\n\nModerator:\n\n\n\n\nDr. Chase McMurren\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Family & Community Medicine at the University of Toronto\n\n\n\n\nCo-Host:\n\n\n\n\nDr. Stephanie Zhou\, Addictions Medicine Physician and EDI & Social Accountability Lead\, Sunnybrook Hospital; FHO Lead\, Don Mills FHT; Assistant Professor\, University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine; Board Director\, Toronto Public Health\, Toronto\, ON \n\n\n\n\nWatch & Listen:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload the Resources\n\n\n\nSession Slides (PDF)Resources (PDF)

SUMMARY:Clinical Application of the Long-Term Care (LTC) Fracture Prevention Recommendations for Frail Older Adults
DESCRIPTION: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: \n\n\n\n\nAssess fracture risk using Fracture Risk Scale\n\n\n\nApply evidence-based recommendations for fracture prevention in LTC\n\n\n\nRecognize challenges and barriers to implement the recommendations and use enablers\n\n\n\n\nPresented by:\n\n\n\nAlexandra Papaioannou BScN\, MD\, MSc\, FRCP(C)\, FACP Professor of Medicine/Geriatric Medicine\, McMaster University Executive Director\, GERAS Centre\, Hamilton Health Sciences \n\n\n\nSidney Feldman\, MD\, CCFP\, FCFP  Chief\, Department of Family and Community Medicine\, Baycrest Health Sciences Associate Professor\, Family and Community Medicine\, University of Toronto \n\n\n\nDelivered in collaboration with the Ontario Osteoporosis Strategy. \n\n\n\nThere is no cost to attend. This one-credit-per-hour Group Learning program has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to 1 Mainpro+ credit.
