NB Medical Hot Topics

We run one day courses throughout the UK and Ireland where we update GPs with all the recent papers and guidelines.

By GPs for GPs, our mission is to help busy GPs with the difficult task of keeping up with all the new developments, papers and guidelines that are relevant to our daily work. We take the time busy GPs do not have to trawl through the literature, distil it and give GPs the essential information they really need to help their patients. The courses are designed to be fun and engaging, and delegates leave with lots of ideas to take back to the practice and to help them help their patients and to help with appraisal and revalidation. Delegates receive a detailed book (now also with on-line access) which summarises all the material and is an invaluable consulting room reference!

Is faecal calprotectin a useful test in older adults?

William is a 58-year-old man presenting with a 5-month history of change in bowel habit towards looser stool. He was going to come to the doctor a few months ago, but coincidentally received his national bowel screening test through the post, which was negative. Reassured ‘nothing sinister was going on’, he decided that his symptoms were probably just part and parcel of getting a bit older, alongside the arthritis developing in his knees and elbows.

Is faecal calprotectin likely to be a useful test in evaluating Williams’ symptoms? A new paper published in the BJGP examines the role of faecal calprotectin in older adults.

Our Story

NB Medical Education was founded over 20 years ago by doctors Simon Curtis and Phil Nichols. The original aim was to help GP trainees pass their MRCGP exam.

The first ‘Hot Topics’ course was held in London in September 1998 and from those small beginnings has grown into today’s business which provides CPD training for over 20,000 Primary Care healthcare professionals per year.

Our presenting team, led by Dr Simon Curtis in Oxford, are all NHS GPs and Nurses who are recognised nationally and internationally within their area of expertise and work tirelessly to maintain a position at the forefront of modern practice.

We continually redesign course content and ensure we align with the latest and most up to date policies, procedures and best practice.
