[Nerve conduction studies: NCS] Dunker et al.: "With small adaptations, the e-norms method adequately replicates traditionally derived reference limits, and is a viable method to produce reference limits from historical datasets."

Focal #EEG and semiology features are common in GTCS in patients with IGE. How to distinguish them from FBTCS in Focal Epilepsy? We have validated a simple, clinical decision flowchart. Read about it in this open access paper: doi.org/10.1111/epi.17895#epilepsy@EpilepsiaJourn
80% of all diagnoses include the work of a Healthcare Scientist. Many HCS are in patient facing roles, indeed many run their own clinics. There are over 50 specialisms in HCS. Find out more healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore…
Most people think of patient facing roles being only Doctors and Nurses.

There’s 14 groups that work side by side with us to provide the best care for patients.
Overinterpretation of sharply contoured #EEG transients as interictal epileptiform abnormalities is the most common cause of misdiagnosing #epilepsy. This review paper explains how to avoid it :)
