Want to learn more about Chronic Pain or Parkinson’s Disease?

UPDATE: The Fall sessions are all fully booked — thank you for your interest. We will update this story with more information about future Group Appointments from the Pharmacists Clinic.

The Pharmacists Clinic at the UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences is hosting a series of Group Appointments, to help people learn about Chronic (Non-Cancer) Pain or Parkinson’s Disease in an interactive group setting facilitated by an expert pharmacist. Their enrollment page is currently open for people to register for the next round of Group Appointments.

Group Appointments are held over Zoom for one hour each month for three months, and are offered to free of charge to all faculty and staff at UBC; you can also invite any friends or family who would be interested in these topics. The Pharmacist Clinic's Group Appointments will bring together up to 10 people experiencing similar health conditions. Attendees learn about the health condition and treatment options. This includes non-drug measures, medications, and natural health products.
