Given the number of physiotherapists who work in first contact roles, this is a professional concern. Improvement of the physiotherapy core curriculum concerning screening for referral competencies and cranial nerve examination is important. To guide physiotherapists in their daily practice, we created an infographic for public use. View this paper
