Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) for stroke teams? Absolutely essential.
FND frequently presents with symptoms resembling acute stroke and FND accounts for approximately 8% of cases initially suspected to be strokes. However, it offers opportunities for early diagnosis & treatment and can be game changing for patient outcomes.
Join us at #UKSF24 to explore FND's acute stroke-like presentations and why early diagnosis & treatment is crucial. Let's bridge the gap in care! 🌟 #Neurology #Stroke #FND

Our LivingWell programme delivers virtual wellbeing courses, sessions and webinars for people affected by MS. 💻📱
Take a look at some of what we've got coming up over the next few weeks:
