Welcome to Common Serious Neurological Conditions 101!

Join us in this first-in Singapore fully online Common Serious Neurological Conditions 101 for healthcare professionals!

Jointly developed by the Lien Centre for Palliative Care and the National Neuroscience Institute, this interactive asynchronous course equips healthcare professionals with basic clinical knowledge of common serious neurological conditions. Unlike other organ failures, neurological "failure" encompasses a range of progressive, often incurable, and chronic conditions with long prognoses. Before integrating the palliative care approach to these conditions, healthcare professionals need foundational knowledge of their characteristics, diagnosis, and management.

This course is highly recommended for non-neurologists prior to the launch of the Neuro Supportive Care Course in 2026.
