When patients present with common symptoms such as ongoing tiredness and generalised aches and pains, it can be difficult for general practitioners to diagnose. It often involves numerous return visits until an underlying cause is found, which can be stressful for the patient. This short course will accompany four patients with similar symptoms; taking you backwards, on an interactive learning experience, through their journey from final diagnosis to their first presentation with tiredness and generalised aches and pains.

Financial support for the project was provided as a sponsorship from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Editorial and content decisions were made solely by the RCGP.
