The Vertebral Artery Test - A SHORT FILM (Part I)

Описание: Here's a short educational film about the long and tortuous history of the 'vertebral artery test'.

It should be of interest to any clinician who manages patients with cervical spine issues.

Next up - Risk Assessment of The Cervical Spine - interpreting the evidence.

The Cranial Nerves are difficult to memorise AND they are in a weird order.

Time for a Cheese & Wine Party!

Join Physiotherapist Alan Taylor at another 'Fireside CPD Session' for sixteen minutes of no nonsense CPD.

Pull up a chair, open a bottle, or make a nice cuppa and enjoy a fun and inventive way to remember the cranial nerves based on FUNCTION.

This short ‘Fireside CPD’ film draws upon story telling, and offers an inventive and fun method of recalling the FUNCTIONS of the cranial nerves.
