Purpose

This session focuses on hypothyroidism, with an emphasis on autoimmune causes such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. It provides a detailed guide on assessing underactive thyroid symptoms. We will cover TFT interpretation, distinguishing between overt and subclinical hypothyroidism, and when to initiate treatment. Practical management with levothyroxine, dose titration, monitoring, and considerations for pregnancy and older adults are included. Case examples will help GPs apply the principles discussed in the webinar.
