As a champion for continuous learning and skills upgrading in the community healthcare sector, Home Nursing Foundation is proud to present our Continuing Professional Education (CPE) webinar series. Through webinar sessions with expert guest speakers from renowned institutions, we hope to provide ongoing learning opportunities for healthcare professionals to maintain and improve their skills, knowledge and competencies.

Upcoming Webinar:

Updates on Neuropsychiatry for Community Aged-Care Physicians*

In this webinar, hear from Dr Chan Lai Gwen, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist (Tan Tock Seng Hospital) as she discusses mild traumatic brain injury and the role played by the GP.

Patients with mild traumatic brain injury may present in the primary care setting instead of the hospital. Hence, the diagnosis, management and recovery trajectory are different from the more severe forms of brain injury and primary care practitioners have an important role to play.

This talk aims to equip the audience with important knowledge on how to manage this infrequently taught, yet common condition.
