Learners will explore the physiological role of vitamin B12, recognise signs and symptoms of deficiency, and understand the differences between dietary and malabsorptive causes. The session covers clinical decision-making based on B12 levels, the use of Intrinsic Factor Antibody (IFAB) testing, appropriate routes of replacement (oral vs IM), and when to seek specialist advice.
