Neurological complications of cancer treatments (in-person only attendance)
This workshop will involve an interactive case-based discussion, themed around patients presenting with neurological complications of new chemotherapeutic agents. Delegates will gain a practical understanding of how to manage these conditions in the acute setting, as well as an update on recent new guidance.
This session will complement and expand upon the morning plenary session on the neurology of chemotherapeutic agents.
Radiology imaging (online only attendance)
This workshop will involve an interactive discussion of neuroradiology cases commonly seen on the acute medical take, and stroke calls.
An experienced neuroradiologist will present cases, invite discussion and share ‘hints and tips’ for the non-specialist having to order and interpret neuroimaging.
Targeted clinical examination in the acute setting (in-person only attendance)
Delegates will observe clinical demonstrations of the neurological examination, with opportunity for hands on examination, with feedback from experienced clinicians.
This session will feature people living with neurological conditions allowing delegates to work with ‘real life’ neurology.
Case studies (hybrid attendance)
This workshop will present clinical cases in the fields of stroke and neurology. An expert multi-disciplinary panel will present structured cases and then coordinate discussion with delegates. Use of a live voting platform will allow delegates to suggest diagnoses and management.
