1ST NORDIC EPILEPSY MEETING
Programme
Two days of knowledge, exchange and Nordic collaboration
Join colleagues from across the Nordic countries for two days dedicated to advances in epilepsy care and research. The programme brings together clinical updates and opportunities to exchange experience, explore shared challenges and strengthen Nordic collaboration.
Look forward to sessions on medical and surgical treatments, care pathways, genetics, register research and AI in epilepsy, alongside parallel sessions exploring the role of the epilepsy nurse and challenging patient cases. Junior presentations will provide a platform for emerging voices, while the welcome drink, dinner and evening programme offer time to connect with colleagues.
