This teaching course is aimed primarily at registrars in neurology and clinical neurophysiology, but in providing an update on clinical diagnosis and management will also be of value to consultant neurologists and neurophysiologists, general physicians, and any professional seeing patients with peripheral neuropathy. Similar to previous BPNS Teaching Courses, this one day event will include comprehensive lectures on the most important clinical topics in peripheral nerve disease. This event occurs only once every two years. Speakers are leading UK experts in their fields. Don't miss this opportunity to hear them all together.
Advance registration will close on Sunday 3rd March. Register at the bottom of this page by filling in your details in the grey form and clicking Book Tickets. There is no reduction for BPNS members. Registration on the day is not possible as the meeting is likely to be very heavily subscribed. Anyone who wishes to attend and misses advance registration must contact the BPNS Administrator to confirm whether attendance is possible. Teaching Course attendees are welcome to attend the main BPNS meeting the following day on 15th March (separate registration fee required - please register separately through the website).
There will be a sponsored symposium organised by CSL Behring on Thursday 14th March 19.00-20.30, "Advancing the Treatment of CIDP: Introducing Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin into Clinical Practice", with hot buffet provided.
