[1] While I think FND is most often diagnosed in neurology, I think it is also sometimes diagnosed in other departments, including in partcular rheumatology which I think you have a dept for. Would it therefore be possible to clarify whether you have any policies, procedures etc etc in the hospital which cover the diagnosis and/or management of FND. | |
