Workshop: Increasing Clinical Awareness 

This workshop will focus on diagnostic indicators and “red flags”.  It will provide an opportunity for audiologists to refine their case history taking, clinical decision making, referral processes and documentation. The aim is to refine and refresh your diagnostic lens, to ensure you provide a comprehensive audiological service to all clients before they commence their rehabilitation journey. 

It will begin with a review of what an ENT Consultant looks for audiological reports and how to facilitate good information exchange. A diverse range of case studies including both adults and children, will be used to guide the discussion.
