Hypothyroidism is a common disorder, affecting 2-5% of the population, with prevalences even higher in older people. Whilst treatment is straightforward for the majority of patients, a significant proportion have continued symptoms of ill health despite biochemical normalisation of their thyroid function and many patients are not adequately treated. There is continued intense debate around treatment thresholds and therapeutic strategies and individualised decision making may be needed. This webinar will highlight the key considerations and controversies in diagnosing and managing hypothyroidism.
