Neurological emergencies in general practice - when should I be worried?
The aim of this course is to provide the participants with the knowledge and skills required in general practice to confidently deal with neurological emergencies and to strengthen their problem-solving skills in veterinary neurology. The course will include clinical case sessions where real cases will be presented and discussed by the tutors and participants.
Why do this course?
Neurological emergencies can seem terrifying and the last thing you want to see during or after a busy day in practice. The course will help you develop a clear strategy for assessing and localising the problem and thus increase your confidence and problem solving skills. We will provide you with practical tips and support you to enhance and apply your knowledge in practice.
