An intensive 1-day update on the latest in the management of common neurological presentations focusing on the key skills required for clinical assessment, investigation and management of common neurological and neurosurgical presentations.

Topics discussed on the day will typically include:

• Headache, migraine or not?
• Transient neurological symptoms
• Approach to movement disorders
• Acute and chronic back pain
• Functional Neurological Disorders

The course is aimed at primary and secondary care healthcare professionals and relevant to anyone seeing common neurological presentations (including GPs, ANPs, A&E doctors, junior doctors, GP trainees and more).

This is an intensive 1-day clinical course limited to 40 candidates preparing for the MRCP PACES clinical examination. The course has received consistently outstanding feedback, with 90-96% candidates rating the course as 'excellent' or 'very good' overall. 

The programme consists of a wide range of clinical neurology cases likely to be encountered in the PACES exam. Candidates are tutored in small groups (target ratio 5-6:1), with candidates taking turns at the clinical stations to ensure that each candidate has adequate examination practice during the day.
