Participation in the programme requires an excellent working knowledge of spinal anatomy.

Participants on module 1 will be asked to build foundation knowledge for the module with 31/2 hours of pre-module work. Learning outcomes have been defined, so participants and faculty are clear about the standards expected and a self-test will be administered to check that learning outcomes have been achieved. Resources to help participants achieve learning outcomes include: PowerPoint presentations, videos and reading material. Registered delegates will receive email instructions for how to proceed with the learning content. By the end of the pre-course learning, participants should be able to:

1. RADIOGRAPhIC MEASUREMEnTS

b. Apply the cobb angle and measures of sagittal balance to deformity.

c. Assess spinal instability.

2. RADIOlOGy IMAGInG (X-RAy, MRI & CT)

a. Differentiate between x-ray, MRI and CTb. Explain how each worksc. Anticipate risks associatedd. Compare radiation exposure resulting from

each

4. Formulate a plan for the safe early management of emergency and serious spine disorders, based on sound principles of treatment.

5. Demonstrate sound clinical judgment in planning patient management around selected cases.
