Particular focus is placed on making sure the more senior attendees are very accessible to those starting out in their careers.
The networking events are designed to be successful to encourage multidisciplinary collaboration.
After attending the event, participants will be able to demonstrate a greater understanding and knowledge in the neuromuscular field for the benefit of patients
After attending the event, participants will have had many opportunities and been encouraged to form multidisciplinary collaborations.
After attending the event, young investigators in the field will have had access to more senior investigators for active learning and discussions.
