13 Oct 2025
Primary Care Pharmacy Theatre

Live bacterial supplements have surged in popularity, yet confusion around how, when and why they should be used remains widespread. With patients increasingly seeking probiotic guidance, healthcare professionals play a crucial role in cutting through the myths and misinformation in a crowded supplement space, to deliver evidence-based advice backed by the latest science.

This session will equip you with the latest clinical insights to confidently navigate the probiotic landscape, helping your patients and clients make informed decisions while avoiding unnecessary expenses on ineffective products.

  • Understand when probiotic supplements are clinically indicated and how to select the right strain for your patients based on the latest clinical guidelines.
  • Uncover the common myths and misconceptions around probiotics.
  • Learn how to support your patients’ gut microbiome - and its connections - beyond supplements.
