An intensive 2-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 across the two days will typically include:

• Headache, migraine or not?
• Transient neurological symptoms
• Approach to movement disorders
• Acute and chronic back pain
• Functional Neurological Disorders.
• Chronic pain and fibromyalgia
• Tingling and numbness
• Dizziness
• High yield Neurological examination
• Clusters and hemicranias.

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).

An intensive one-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 for children and young people.

Topics discussed on the day will typically include:

• Headaches
• Fits, faints and funny turns
• Developmental delay
• Febrile child with CNS infection
• Floppy infant.

This course is aimed at paediatricians/neonatologists, primary and secondary care healthcare professionals and relevant to anyone seeing common neurological presentations within the child health workforce (including GPs, ANPs, A&E doctors, junior doctors, SAS doctors, Locally Employed Doctors and more).

This is an intensive 1-day clinical course limited to 48 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 6-7:1), with candidates taking turns at the clinical stations to ensure that each candidate has adequate examination practice during the day.

Liverpool Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Centre will hold its first conference in November 2026 to bring together researchers, clinicians, partners and stakeholders to hear talks from leading lights in the field of neuroscience.  

Based at the University of Liverpool, LINC is a new research centre launched in summer 2025. It brings together clinical, behavioural, and translational neuroscience researchers, developing innovative diagnostics, treatments, and interventions for major neurological conditions, to improve health outcomes and quality of life.

In partnership with regional NHS trusts (The Walton Centre, Alder Hey and Mersey Care), UK and global Industry, Policy Maker and Third Sector collaborators, LINC is set to transform brain and mind research in Liverpool and improve neurological outcomes, locally, nationally, and globally.

This event marks a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing interdisciplinary research that uniquely brings together brain and mind research to tackle some of the world’s most pressing neurological, neurosurgical, psychiatric, and brain health challenges.

The event will be open to national and international academics, industry and third sector partners and NHS colleagues. All welcome. 

We look forward to celebrating this landmark occasion with you and sharing our vision for the future of neuroscience research.
