The Neurological History - Clinical Skills OSCE

TLDR: Here is the detailed overview of the clinical information which you need to keep in mind, and ensure that you ask in the history of any patient attending with a neurological problem.

As always very grateful for any feedback on how we can improve the utility for medical school and finals revision, and I hope approach to how to take a neurology history a little more accessible!!
