This session provides healthcare professionals in primary care with a structured, evidence‑based approach to assessing acute illness. Clinicians will learn how to recognise key signs and symptoms across common presentations, take an effective history, identify red flags, manage risk and escalate appropriately.
Topics covered include:
- Headache
- Back pain
- Gastrointestinal presentations
- Respiratory symptoms
- Throat pain
- Neurological concerns
- Diabetes‑related acute issues
Within each condition, the session explores typical presentations, AHP perspectives, history‑taking, red flags, management pathways, escalation decisions, safety‑netting, review mechanisms and clerking/governance.
