The GP can review all videos to receive a learning module on these conditions or directly select the area of interest to confirm their thinking.
The videos provide quick access to knowledge and current practice in a visual medium, with most videos being less than 4 minutes long. Checklist and further written information is also linked. They could be of interest to other heath professionals but were not designed to use with patients.
The videos are free, please use, and advertise to colleagues. http://www.londonscn.nhs.uk/publication/adults-with-dizzy-spells-edu-videos
