This session provides two revision tutorials on selected topics related to anticonvulsants and hypoglycaemics.

The tutorials within this session begin with some 'pre-tutorial MCQs' to test your existing knowledge. This is followed by the revision tutorial during which we will cover the knowledge required to answer these and other similar MCQs.

The tutorial ends with some 'post-tutorial MCQs' to re-test your understanding of the topic.
