Neurology

Course overview:

We expect that learners who complete this course will have a better understanding of the manifestations and proposed mechanisms of functional disorders across different organ systems. 

This symposium will challenge the traditional dichotomy between “mind” and “body” symptoms by critically comparing the manifestations of functional disorders with those of mental health disorders. We expect to make the case for a more integrated approach in the understanding and management of these conditions.  

This course will also challenge the tendency for professionals from different categories to work in “silos”, as we genuinely believe in the advantage of sharing expertise and learning from different experiences. 

Finally, this short course will offer an opportunity for discussion, net-working and “cross pollination” of ideas / concepts between different specialities and professional backgrounds.  We hope to foster new collaborative work in clinical care and research. 

About the course: This one day interactive course aims to build understanding and provide hands-on experience of High Speed Drills. The candidates will learn the basic skills and techniques for high-speed drilling. 

The course will cover:

- Identify, set-up and disassemble High Speed Drills.

- Differentiate between attachment and cutting accessories and their respective applications

- Short presentations preceding the hands-on training will support the practical work.

- Demonstrations of ICP and EVDs insertion.

This is a popular course and due to the practical element, numbers are limited to a maximum number of 16 candidates. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. 

Delegates will be issued with a certificate of attendance and CPD will be sought from the Society of British Neurological Surgeons (SBNS).
