Headaches are among the most common causes of contact in general practice. GPs play a key role in identifying, diagnosing and following up on these patients – and with the right knowledge, many can get good help without the need for a referral.
This hybrid course is designed to give you as a GP increased security, structure and professional updating when dealing with headache patients – whether it concerns common diagnoses, red flags, assessment of diagnostic imaging, or preventive measures.
The course has been approved by the Norwegian Medical Association as a 16-hour clinical course, and is approved for both specialists in general practice and specialists in physical medicine.
