objectives

• To present the audience with some of the latest otology research being undertaken by UK trainees or young consultants, through short paper presentations
• The participants will be informed about the clinical place and value of ‘video head impulse test’ (vHIT) and ‘vestibular evoked myogenic potentials’ (VEMPS) investigations, in the work up of their dizzy patients.  They will understand the contribution of these tests to determine and localise dysfunction in the vestibular system
• The diagnosis and treatment of migraine associated vertigo will be understood, improving the participants clinical practice
