5th INTERNATIONAL VIDEO-EEG COURSE IN PAEDIATRIC EPILEPSIES. FROM SEIZURES TO SYNDROMES Madrid, October 31, November 1-2, 2024

Dear Colleagues,

The biomedical research foundation of the Hospital Infantil Universitario Niño Jesús in Madrid, and the Neuroscience Department of Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital – IRCCS, Rome - Italy with the endorsement of the European Commission of the International League Against Epilepsy  (ILAE-Europe), the Sociedad Española de Epilepsia (SEEP) and the Sociedad Española de Neurofisiologia Clínica (SENFC) are presenting this educational initiative, that will take place in Madrid, Spain.

The course is planned to be conducted on-site (face to face format).

The philosophy of this course is to provide a transversal approach to the teaching of pediatric epileptology, by dealing equally with clinical and neurophysiological aspects, as well as subsequent clinical management. The learning objectives are both to review the classic descriptions of epileptic syndromes in infancy, childhood and adolescence and to promote awareness of new advances in this field, while enabling attendees to make optimal use of video-EEG methodology.

The course is clinically - oriented, targeted to specialists at the second and third level of epilepsy care. The faculty panel consists of leading European epileptologists. Specialists in pediatric neurology, neurology and clinical neurophysiology are welcome to apply.

The venue selected is Casa Árabe, located in the centre of Madrid. This beautiful venue is also very well-equiped, thus, it will be the perfect place to finally see each other again. Of course, we will be ready to apply preventive recommendations and protocols.
 

We look forward to welcoming you in Madrid
