HAVS is a complex condition that requires practitioners to have a good understanding of the anatomy and neurology of the hands. Examination skills are difficult to maintain if they are not regularly practised. The implications of poor practice or misdiagnosis are significant for both the employer and the employee. On Wednesday 17 April 2019, HSE is running a 1 day course - Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) Refresher - at its Science and Research Centre near Buxton, Derbyshire. Presented by HSE's Dr Jon Poole MD FRCP FFOM and Dr Howard Mason PhD, the course covers a range of HAVS-related topics including risk assessment, standardised tests, clinical assessment and differential diagnoses and clinical management. 'Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) Refresher' is aimed at occupational physicians, occupational health nurses and general practitioners with an interest in occupational health who have successfully completed the Faculty of Occupational Medicine (FOM) 2-day Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome course.
