Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course, the learner should be able to:
1. Understand the complex patho-aetiology and clinical challenges related to managing recent onset cervical radiculopathy.
2. Be able to formulate a plan for how to assess patients with recent onset cervical radiculopathy integrating Danish/UK/Canadian evidence-based models and standards of care.
3. Be able to formulate a plan for how you would manage patients with recent onset radiculopathy integrating Danish/UK/Canadian evidence-based models and standards of care.
4. Understand the variation in presentation of cervical radiculopathy and introduce troubleshooting principles and referral considerations to maximise clinical outcome.
Following completion of the lecture, you will be directed to 10 multiple choice questions. Upon successful completion of these questions you will be emailed a CPD certificate for 1 hour (or 1 point).
