About this event

This course will provide AHPs and Nurses with a range of knowledge and skills, to enhance their assessment of a person’s functional difficulties, within the urgent and emergency care setting.

The course focuses on how practitioners can support early assessment and diagnosis for people who primarily present with acute changes in their mobility or ability to carry out their Activities of Daily Living [ADLs].

Learners will already have a basic understanding of the neurological and musculo-skeletal systems, and will be looking to develop their knowledge further, and to confidently apply functional assessment skills within their initial assessment of the person.

The course will cover the following areas of assessment:

· Mental state and cognition

· Sensation and proprioception

· Muscle testing and Motor Neurones

· Walking gait and Balance

The course will include both a revision of relevant anatomy and physiology, and demonstration and opportunity to practice a range of assessment skills that can be used in urgent and emergency care clinical practice with minimal resource and time.

A range of learning activities will be used to meet each individual learners’ preferred learning styles, and support integration into their clinical practice. There will be opportunity to practice skills learnt during the day.

Frequently asked questions

Is there parking at the venue?

Unfortunately no parking. However there is securing cycle storage and showers to use if you wish to cycle to the venue. Alternatively there are a number of bus, railway and underground routes close by.

Will refreshments be provided?

Yes drinks and biscuits will be available throughout the day. There is also a small self-service snack station on site. Lunch is not provided, there are some places to eat out locally but otherwise there is limited options so I would recommend bringing lunch. There is a microwave available at venue.

I can't get to the venue for 9am, or I need to leave before 4.30pm, can I still come?

Yes that is fine. Although the course starts at 9am, the main teaching will start about 9.30am. I hope to be finished by 4pm but have booked the room until 4.30pm should we run over or if learners wish to stay and finish any discussion or practice.But if you need to leave earlier then thats fine.

Yes, you can have a full refund up to 7 days prior to the event. Up to 7 days before the event I will offer a 50% refund, unless I am able to fill your place in which case I will offer you a full refund. If myself or the venue need to cancel the event for any reason you will be given a full refund.
