Description
Neurological examinations can often be daunting and this webinar will be aimed at breaking down the initial examination and understanding the disease processes that might be ongoing. This talk will present a practical way in which to approach the neurological examination including cranial nerve, static and dynamic examinations. Further diagnostics including radiography, CT, MRI and EEG will be discussed as well as sample collection for cerebrospinal fluid. Diseases that are regularly seen in the UK will be assessed as well as those that are emerging and could affect the UK. Treatments and, where applicable, biosecurity measures, will be also be discussed. Learning Objectives for viewers of the webinar:
Assess the varied clinical presentations of neurological disease and formulate a differential list.
Understand and complete a full neurological examination leading to neuro-localisation based on clinical presentation.
Decide on appropriate further diagnostics to complete the diagnosis
Formulate a treatment plan as well as advise on an appropriate prognosis for the disease diagnosed.
When required undertake suitable biosecurity to reduce the spread of infectious aetiologies.
