Two peer reviewed articles on the management of gasto-oesophageal reflux disease.

Acid reflux is extremely common: as many as one in five people experience acid reflux symptoms at least once a week, and one in ten people have acid reflux symptoms every day. Without acid reflux treatment, the long-term damage to the oesophagus can lead to a number of complications. In this online research activity you will be encouraged to consolidate your knowledge on the presentations and management of GORD

After reading two articles, answer the two sets of multiple choice questions for professional development points.
The learning objectives for this module are:

To state the definition of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
To recount the various presentations of GORD and alarm symptoms.
To recall the psychosocial aspects for patients with GORD and impact on quality of life.
To identify appropriate management strategies for patients with GORD.
