Workshop sessions
The afternoon programme will consist of workshop sessions, further details regarding will be sent out prior to attending. Please note, workshop 3 has limited places due to the practical nature. For details on the subject of the workshops please see below summaries.
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.
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.
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.
