Building Blocks of Neurology

Neurological presentations can be frightening for an owner and intimidating for a general practitioner especially if lacking confidence. Localising the injury or lesion is important in starting the diagnostic process and using this to start relieving pain, reducing signs and managing conditions chronically. This one day course with Clare Rusbridge builds from the basics of neurology and progresses into managing serious and complicated conditions to give you confidence in facing these cases.

Topics to be covered include:

• Neuro localisation using gait and posture
• Neuro localisation using spinal reflexes
• Head and spinal pain
• Management of seizures
• Coma, obtundation and dementia
