OBJECTIVES
Please note this event is not for Consultants.
To provide education and advice to help healthcare professionals to carry out the following activities from the Paediatric Neurology Training Guide:
• Neurological examination of the term and preterm infant
• Assessment of an infant with acute profound and chronic partial hypoxic ischaemic brain injury and can discuss the mechanisms, patterns, timings and range of outcome
• Formulate a differential diagnosis and investigative plan for neonatal encephalopathy and its subsequent management
• Draw up a differential diagnosis and directed investigative plan for neonatal seizures. Can interpret investigations and develop a management plan for neonatal epilepsy syndromes
• Manage status epilepticus in new born infants at different gestational ages, recognizing patterns and nature of EEG and MR abnormalities, and advising on therapeutic choices.
• Assess and investigate infants with altered tone, both floppy and stiff. Formulate a differential diagnosis and strategy for management.
• Examine infants with neural tube defects, provide guidance on key aspects of their management including co-morbidities affecting bladder and bowel
• Assess and provide advice on the management of infants with brain malformation and hydrocephalus, occurring at different stages of development, describing their aetiology, co-morbidities and outcomes
• Contribute to multidisciplinary discussions on outcome and long-term prognosis in infants with severe neurological disorders, working with neonatal, palliative care, multidisciplinary colleagues and families to determine the best outcome for an individual infant which in some cases may be withdrawal/reorientation of care. Can communicate uncertainty of prognosis in certain disorders.
• Provide neurological expertise to a foetal MDT with respect to neurological abnormalities recognised antenatally on neuroimaging both USS and MR, or through genetic testing.
