Neurology

Horizontal

Overview

We have assembled this programme during the COVID-19 pandemic, mindful of the challenges - and opportunities – that it has created for physicians and patients with neurological diseases. So, what will post-pandemic neurology look like? We will need the same knowledge base, so we have embedded core elements of the training curricula. But, for patients and physicians to thrive, we hope to stimulate you to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of your speciality, transform failure into success, to think on your feet, and to practice with humanity.

This online event allows the opportunity for delegates to watch the presentations live, or at their convenience for up to 28 days following the original broadcast. Delegates can continue to register for on-demand access only after the live event has taken place. Please note that access closes 28 days after the original broadcast, not after the point of booking.
