About this course

The Microbiome is now an important consideration in the clinical care of most of our patients. It’s not just gut conditions that we associate our friendly flora with. It’s a wide and widening list of non-gastrointestinal conditions too. This Masterclass brings you up to date with many other conditions our diverse microbiome affects.

Our epidemics of chronic disease are especially amenable to microbiome-directed care. We can alter the risk and the progression of serious conditions like cancer, diabetes and obesity. We also know that mental health disorders, autism and allergies are known to exhibit specific flora abnormalities that benefit from microbial rebalancing. For some patients, faecal microbial transplantation is their best option. You will learn when this is indicated and how we are best to advise and support these people.

The new research and the emerging clinical value of the microbiome have exploded with new findings coming from all directions. This opens up many new therapeutic options for us. The Microbiome Masterclass will update you on the major advances that have been made in this field that you can use in clinical practice.
