Practical Neurology for Small Animal Clinicians Conference
Neurological presentations can be frightening – not just for the patient and client, but for you as the clinician with the responsibility for diagnosis and treatment. Which cases can you work up in house and which need referral for advanced imaging? How confident are you that your neurological exam is going to help with localising the problem and reliably inform your path of action? Can you reliably and confidently interpret reflex tests? How about those pesky cranial nerves? Join veterinary neurologist Thomas Flegel for a day focused on mastering the skill of a thorough neurological exam to assist you with accurate neurolocalisation. Using case studies and an interactive approach (get ready for audience participation!), Dr Flegel will cover the circling patient, intervertebral disc disease, other spinal disease and more, whilst Dr Stacey Brady will offer a local perspective on problems of the peripheral nervous system. Our speakers’ clinical expertise and experience as educators will ensure you leave armed with the tips and tricks you need to ensure you’re doing the best you can – without a feeling of panic – for your neuro patients.
