How can our short-form, virtual education help you?

1 in 6 people in the UK are living with a neurological condition. They account for 1 in 10 GP consultations.

Primary care input is essential for:

• identifying possible neurological problems,

• effective symptom management,

• holistic support and management of comorbidities,

• lifestyle advice, preventative care and general health and wellbeing,

• care across the wider family.

We want to support and encourage those in primary care practice to engage with neurology and so feel more confident in supporting their patients living with a neurological condition.

We have short-form, virtual education available to help you:

• Our mild cognitive impairment course can help you assess and manage MCI in adults, slow cognitive decline and reduce their risk of progression to dementia

• Our short SMA animation can help you recognise red flags for SMA in infants before or at their 10 week check - expediting diagnosis and treatment to halt progression

• Lewy body Bitesize offers a series of 8-10 minute talks on all aspects of recognising, diagnosing and managing Lewy body dementia, the 2nd commonest dementia form, most misdiagnosed and associated with the highest carer burden.

• Our on-demand webinars cover a wide variety of topics that can help with symptom management:

  • frailty,

  • pain,

  • women's health,

  • pregnancy,

  • bladder and bowel

  • sleep problems.

• Other webinars cover the role of lifestyle change, and support through the lifecourse, including:

  • diet in MS

  • physical exercise in Parkinson's,

  • advance care planning
