About your host
My name is Mehbub Ali Shafi and I am currently working as a Scientific Advisor in the Cardiovascular division at Bristol Myers Squibb. Prior to this I worked in the NHS across various clinical specialities for over 6 years. My last job in the NHS was a General Practise Speciality Registrar in West London.
For my review, I chose to focus on Psoriasis, a condition in which I have personal insight, including its effect on patients both clinically and psycho-socially. The paper I chose to review was the VOYAGE 2 clinical trial. (Efficacy and safety of Guselkumab, an anti-interleukin-23 monoclonal antibody, compared with adalimumab for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis with randomized withdrawal and retreatment: Results from the phase III, double-blind, placebo- and active comparator controlled VOYAGE 2 trial)

About journal clubs
Journal clubs are educational settings where individuals meet regularly to critically evaluate articles in the medical and scientific literature.
They are a recognised way of keeping up to date with latest advancements in areas of interest.
CPD
If you attend this webinar you can use it as CPD for your appraisal. To do so you’ll need to provide:
- evidence (certificate of attendance), and
- reflection, specifically a couple of paragraphs on what you learnt, what effect it will have on your current practice and how it relates to Good Medical Practice.
Upload these into your portfolio and self-allocate your CPD points at 0.25 credits per 15 mins.
