Familial Hyperlipidaemia | Module Overview
Inherited lipid disorders frequently present in primary and secondary care. Management of most lipid disorders falls within the remit of the primary care clinician, but also may be required of the hospital physician.

Once you successfully complete this module - and achieve the minimum pass rate of 60% - you'll be awarded with a downloadable 1 hour CPD Certificate, which you can print or upload to your CPD Portfolio.
