15.7 Neurological Problems

This section of our curriculum guide refers to statement 15.7, Neurological Problems, produced by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).

Neurological symptoms may be an indication of a purely neurological disorder, or a multi-system disease. They may be self-limiting or more serious and GPs must be able to evaluate each patient and assess their need for further tests or referral.

The management of epilepsy is a key competence for general practice, and all GPs should be competent in the management of neurological emergencies. 

Here we have collated key articles from our journals to help you meet the curriculum requirements in this area.
