Differential Diagnosis

Course Course No. 403

A Certificate is awarded upon the successful completion of this course! In our world, disease patterns are constantly changing, in concert with our changing lifestyles and well-being. Our physical and social environment is a considerable factor and for our health. In general medical practice, most illness is self limiting or minor chronic illness: for instance, 30% have respiratory infections, 15% skin disorders, 10% musculoskeletal, 10% psychiatric problems, and 7% gastrointestinal complaints. Many of these do not fall into clear-cut disease patterns and diagnoses, but serious disease can be safely excluded. This course aims to make you confident that you will not miss any condition that requires urgent medical or surgical intervention, and to refer on if necessary.

Eligibility

This groundbreaking new British Institute course created by Dr. Natasha Usher, is aimed at any person working within the Complementary Health Care field, including acupuncturists, naturopaths, aromatherapists, chiropractors, herbalists and nurses. The course may conveniently be taken as part of the Human Sciences Programme.

It is noticeable that whilst many people are qualified within their own chosen area of Complimentary Therapy, that they are not taught diagnostic skills or the importance of distinguishing the severity of symptoms presented to them, leaving them lacking in an important skill and confidence.

This exciting course, designed to use the latest technology, aims to put back that confidence and skill not taught within the majority of courses, and help them bridge the gap between allopathic and complementary medicines.
