Syllabus

01Why the scalp matters
Why you are often the first person to notice a scalp change, what your role is, and the five-minute check you will run at every appointment.
02Questions that help
The questions that give you a useful history in a minute, how to ask about health without prying, and how to listen for the answers that matter.
03Looking closely
A systematic way to examine the scalp, hair and hairline, how to describe what you see in words a clinician can use, and the record card to write it on.
04Red flags
The signs and stories that mean a client should see a GP or trichologist, how urgent each one is, and what to do with today's service.
05Referring well
How to suggest a referral so the client goes, choose the right person, and write a short note a GP or trichologist can act on.
06Aftercare conversations
How to talk about shedding and thinning honestly and within scope, give practical aftercare, and support clients over time.
