Educational interventions aimed at improving healthcare professionals’ (HCPs) knowledge and confidence in managing complex conditions are widely recommended. However, there is limited evidence regarding the impacts of such interventions on HCP confidence and knowledge in relation to the management of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). This investigation aimed to ascertain whether a two-hour FND training session, delivered online in group format, improved HCP confidence and knowledge in FND management, using a pre-post repeated measures design. Responses from 25 HCPs from community-based rehabilitation services at Whittington Health NHS Trust were included in the analysis. The findings indicated significant improvements in participant confidence and knowledge scores following training, suggesting the potential value of accessible low-cost training within the NHS. Future studies could adopt a randomised controlled trial design to reliably determine the effectiveness of delivering the training.
