OBJECTIVES
International Expert to Expert: Epilepsy has been designed primarily for paediatric neurologists. This meeting provides an excellent opportunity to listen to international and UK expert lectures and then discuss topics and approaches with your peers in small workshops. This course is for all paediatric neurologists, both those for whom epilepsy is not necessarily their area of sub-speciality expertise and for epilepsy specialists. It is an opportunity to network with your fabulous colleagues and learn from each other’s experiences and knowledge and be educated by international experts in their field of expertise.
