European Conference on Post Polio Syndrome

www.polioconference.com

This conference is held by the European Polio Union, EPU and The Danish Society of Polio and Accident Victims, PTU.

Aim

After the great polio epidemics in the last century around 700,000 people in Europe are now suffering from late effects of polio. Many survivors have a decreasing functional level because of paralysis, fatigue and pain, and this is a big challenge for polio survivors and the professionals, who are treating them. The European Polio Union wishes with this conference:

• To give medical and social professionals a possibility to exchange new research results and to debate relevant topics on a professional level
• To give polio survivors a possibility to achieve and exchange new knowledge on assessment, treatment and coping
• To achieve awareness on polio issues in the health sector and social services

15th EFNS Congress

http://efns2011.efns.org/

The congress programme includes all major neurological topics and combines up-to date review lectures given by the leading experts in the world with free presentations where new research results are presented for the first time.

This is a general neurology congress, covering neurology in the broadest sense. Stroke specialists will receive the latest news not only in their favourite field, but also get an update on other topics, necessary for daily patient practice. The congress combines specialist education including teaching courses, overviews, satellite symposia and the exhibition with new and exciting research including free oral presentations, posters, and focused workshops.

The EFNS congress has as its main aim to promote general neurology. However, in addition to being general neurologists, there are special interests areas; regarding patient groups, treatment modalities, and often linked to research or developmental projects. That is also how we together shape the EFNS congress, how we define the focus during presentations and discussions. The congress attracts not only neurologists but also specialists in neighbouring fields.
