OBJECTIVES
The Movement Disorders course aims to develop and deepen knowledge in diagnosis and management of child movement disorders.
This is a practical 2-day course that has been developed by an expert group of Paediatric Neurologists from UK and Ireland. The course consists of lectures and interactive workshops, limited to 8 per group, allowing attendees to bring their own clinical experience to the group’s attention. It is delivered by a faculty of 7 Consultant Paediatric Neurologists.
The emphasis is on:
- How to assess these children in practical terms that can guide the clinician in a busy clinic
- Diagnostic issues from simple home videos through to biochemical and genetic analysis
- Classification of common movement disorders and identification of rarer ones
- Practical difficulties with their management in terms of state of the art drug and therapeutic input, acute issues, as well as more practical issues around multi disciplinary and allied health professional support
PROGRAMME
This is a 2-day course that will be delivered online in a virtual environment via zoom. You are expected to attend for the whole 2 days.
