Description

77% of GPs rated this lecture as excellent

In this Healthed lecture, Dr Mike Selby discusses the fundamentals of recognising developing scoliosis, making the diagnosis, the red flags suggesting a more sinister pathology and the latest evidence-based assessments and treatments for this not uncommon condition. In addition, he will highlight the importance of opportunistic screening and appropriate investigation for scoliosis in general practice, given the cessation of school-based screening programs.
