Firstly, we will be focussing on defining movement disorders where there is too little movement (hypokinetic) or too much movement (hyperkinetic), such as tremor or dystonia. The features and symptoms of each disorder will be explored by Dr Saifee and we will be discussing the key approaches to treatments, deciding which will give your patients the best quality of life.

Taking a deep-dive into Parkinson’s disease in the second half, we will be asking what are the latest findings in research and how can we apply this in practice? Dr Saifee will be covering investigations such as blood tests, MRI and DAT SPECT, and utilising case studies. We will also be considering vital management techniques, such as allied therapies which you can take back to your clinic, medications and 'advanced treatments', including neurosurgical options.
