Join prominent Australian researcher and academic, Professor Michael Berk for an illuminating webinar presentation on The Aggregation of Marginal Gains as A Philosophy of Clinical Care.

The theory of aggregation of marginal gains, or the “1% improvement theory,” suggests that making consistent, incremental changes in various areas can collectively result in significant overall progress.

Professor Berk will review the evidence and provide practical guidance on the application of this philosophy to patient management, including:

• Merging the constructs of aggregation of marginal gains and clinical formulation to:
• • Identify an individual’s risk pathway
  • Combine the multitude of potential treatment options

• The impact of a multidisciplinary approach focused on small improvements on overall health

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a new perspective on management approaches for patients in your clinical practice.

The event will be recorded and available for members to view on demand. 

Upon completion of this event, participants will receive 1.5 CPD towards educational activities.
