Welcome to this page on neurology.
There are more than 600 diseases of the central nervous system, and these include epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, brain tumours and stroke. Each of these conditions is complex, and in some cases difficult to manage.
This page aims to introduce you to some of the learning available to help you to develop your knowledge of these conditions.
Pharmacy professionals are well placed to help support people with their healthcare needs. We can offer advice on the side effects of medicines, tips to help manage conditions and signposting to other helpful resources.
If you’re new to this topic we recommend you start by looking at the TEST YOURSELF section, to find out where your learning needs lie. If you are more experienced, why not start working through some of the core learning activities such as the case studies.
This programme takes a video-based approach to showcasing some of the key skills and behaviours required to demonstrate a patient-centred approach. Watching the experts in action and taking part in the interactive activities will help you reflect on your own consultations and apply new techniques to keep your patient at the centre of the consultation.
