The Pharmacotherapy Consultation (FTO) is a (periodic) consultation between general practitioners and pharmacists. The IVM supports FTO groups to improve the quality of the consultations and the collaboration between doctors and pharmacists. They do this using modules and case studies, among other methods.
The post-COVID FTO module has recently been revised and, like the guidance, is offered by the Post-COVID Network Netherlands (PCNN).
FTO module post-COVID
The module was developed in collaboration with experts by experience and experts from the IVM, C-Support, PCNN, and the post-COVID expertise centers. The module contains various working methods that allow you to put together your own program. After the meeting:
- participants know what post-COVID is and what the likely causes are;
- participants recognize and acknowledge post-exertional malaise (PEM), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS);
- can provide participants with the correct treatment recommendations for PEM, MCAS, and POTS;
- participants are familiar with the advice regarding the treatment of other specific complaints or symptoms that may occur with post-COVID;
- the participants make agreements regarding the (pharmacological) treatment of complaints/symptoms of post-COVID and the provision of information about this;
- participants can apply the comprehensive post-COVID guidance in their daily practice.
Free guidance
FTO groups that want to get started with Groups can receive free guidance on the topic of post-COVID. This means that a doctor or pharmacist from C-Support or the IVM will prepare and lead the meeting together with you. There is still room for 30 new groups this year.
