Conferences

The Muir Maxwell Trust is delighted to be involved with the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) in the organisation of a Paediatric Epilepsy Conference, planned for Thursday 26th February 2009, to be held in Edinburgh at the Royal College of Surgeons. The conference day will be preceded by a dinner for the conference speakers on the evening of Wednesday 25th February. The Guest speaker on the evening of the dinner will be Professor Brian Neville, HRH The Prince of Wales' 1st Chair of Paediatric Epilepsy.

We are delighted to announce that the conference will be jointly chaired by Professor Brian Neville and Jonny Maxwell, who is Chairman of MMT and one of the Trust's founders. This conference will bring together some of the most eminent doctors and other professionals in the field of paediatric epilepsy who will speak about recent developments in treatment, including the UK's unique DNA service, the latest information on the benefits of the Ketogenic diet and discussion about the special educational needs of children with epilepsy, amidst many other topical subjects.

We will be publishing regular updates as planning for the event progresses.  In the meantime, email your interest in attending to http://www.rsm.ac.uk/academ/paedsepiscot08.php
