• This case-based mini-series is aimed at providing delegates with the confidence to accurately neuro-anatomically localise and form a succinct list of differential diagnoses. We will re-cap the neurological examination before embarking on a case based interactive approach to the most commonly encountered neurological conditions. The most common intra-cranial, spinal, neuromuscular and other neurological conditions will be covered and delegates will learn when to refer but also what can be done in first opinion practice when referral isn’t an option.

Course Feedback :

“I found the simple to use guide in terms of lesion localisation backed up by case studies really helpful.”

“I’ve just had a run of uncommon neurological cases where I was able to use the knowledge from the course, which was enormously helpful.”

“The content of the Mini Series will help me very much in my work in practice. It will give me confidence to approach cases in a logical way and reach a working diagnosis and treatment plan, whilst recognising where specialist advice and referral is appropriate.”
