| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding the pharmacists competence to resolve the therapeutic challenge of the valsartan saga. Introduction: In an evolving healthcare system, continuing professional development and education should reflect timely topics to enhance and improve professional skills. A safety alert by the European Medicines Agency triggered a recall of potentially contaminated valsartan medicines with the genotoxic impurity, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Aims: To investigate the use of an innovative tool, the Mentimeter in assessing the competence of pharmacists in addressing the risks versus benefits associated with the use of valsartan medicines potentially contaminated with NDMA. |
