Learn from experts on functional neurological disorder

Specialist understanding of functional neurological disorder (FND) has improved rapidly in recent years. Yet research shows that there is still a worrying lack of awareness of the condition among healthcare professionals more broadly.


This training day will help you gain in-depth insights into all aspects of the condition. we will be exploring how to define FND, including the importance of language. How common is FND? And which patients are most at risk of developing functional symptoms? We will look at the prevalence and major risk factors associated with developing FND and how these issues are often intertwined in a medico legal case.
