Now more than ever it is essential that we are able to identify these conditions early and manage them effectively including signposting patients to the appropriate service in a timely fashion and with limited resources. In addition, with the increasing pressure on our appointments, we are remotely triaging and/or consulting with more patients making a meaningful assessment of their neurological symptoms even more challenging. This necessitates updating our knowledge and re-educating our gut-feeling to effectively and safely assess them in 10 mins and agree a management plan. You'll learn lots of practical tips to help you improve your practice and your patients care.
