Surgical and Conservative Management of Spinal Pain

Spinal pain, and associated referred symptoms, are everyday presentations in general practice – knowing when to keep treating, when to refer and what to tell patients about surgery isn't always straightforward. Join us for an important GP and Specialist CPD session that will cut through the uncertainty. You'll get a practical update on common spinal procedures and what the evidence says about outcomes, so you can have honest, informed conversations with patients. Learn from a multidisciplinary panel – neurosurgeon, pain physician and physiotherapist – to better understand the red flags that need urgent action versus the much larger group who can be managed and referred through primary care guidance, helping you build shared care plans that make the most of both conservative treatment and specialist input. Practical, evidence-based and built for the GP as the pivotal coordinator of spine care. Keynote presenters: Mr Nicholas Hall, Neurosurgeon, FRACS (Neurosurgery), MRCS (eng), BMBS, BMedSci Dr Jacquelyn Nash, Specialist Pain Medicine Physician, MBBS, FANZCA, FFPMANZCA and Reece Noble, Senior Physiotherapist, Kieser Ocean Grove, BPhysio, MExSci (S&C) Please note this event is for GPs and Specialists only.
