Cognitive assessment tools
Webinar 30 Sep, 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM (AEST)
Strengthen your approach to cognitive assessment with clarity and confidence.
This practical webinar offers GPs an up-to-date overview of cognitive assessment tools, and their role within the broader evaluation of patients presenting with cognitive concerns.
Join this session to:
• Understand how cognitive assessment tools can support, but not replace, clinical judgement
• Learn how to effectively incorporate tools into a holistic patient assessment
• Recognise the wide range of potential causes of cognitive impairment
• Gain clarity on the strengths and limitations of commonly used tools
While cognitive assessment tools play an important role, this session reinforces what matters most, your clinical expertise in interpreting results and guiding next steps.
Designed for real-world practice, this webinar will help you apply tools more confidently while keeping patient-centred, clinical decision-making front and centre.
