  • Location Online
  • Organised by Clinical Neurosciences

This is the first webinar of the RSM Clinical Neuroscience series: Current and historical perspectives, and will be exploring how the art of history taking and examinations are being lost to an over reliance on laboratory and imaging techniques, and how COVID-19 is affecting this aspect of the doctor-patient relationship. 

Webinar topics include:

  • Why clinical history and examination remain key to the assessment of a neurological patient
  • How important is history versus the examination in neurology
  • Symptoms and signs that a 'patient encounter' can help budding neurologist
  • How have things changed in the era of COVID-19? And does this matter?

The Clinical Neurosciences Section is offering this webinar series to students and trainees at a reduced rate, to support ongoing training and development during this time.
