Confident ENT for everyday general practice
A practical, CPD-accredited foundation in ENT for GPs in primary care, so you can spot the red flags, manage common conditions and refer with confidence.
A foundation course. No prior ENT experience needed.
For GPs working in primary care
For GPs who want to feel sure-footed with the ENT that comes through the door every week, the earache, the blocked nose, the hoarse voice, the dizzy patient, and to know exactly when and how to refer. No prior ENT experience needed.
The ENT you were never really taught
ENT makes up almost 20% of primary care consultations, yet it barely features in most GP training. ENT Essentials closes that gap with clear, practical teaching built around the conditions you actually see, so you can make confident decisions and refer only when you really need to.
What you will be able to do
Tell routine ENT symptoms from red flags
Apply evidence-based ENT management plans in primary care
Signpost patients to trusted self-management resources
Write succinct, appropriate referral letters
The curriculum
