2024 Orthopaedic Symposium - Spine and Upper Limb Session

This session of the 2024 Orthopaedic Symposium will help General Practitioners to understand orthopaedic conditions involving the spine and upper limb because these areas are commonly affected by musculoskeletal issues. 

General Practitioners often serve as a first point of contact for patients with orthopaedic concerns. Having knowledge about these areas allows GPs to provide initial assessment, diagnosis and management of orthopaedic conditions, as well as to make appropriate referrals to orthopaedic specialists when needed.
