Organised by

It’s only been 10 months since Neuro Convention 2021, but there are many impactful changes within the industry to cover. We’ve seen the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) at each stage of the patient pathway, from diagnostics to surgery and rehabilitation. This new frontier of neurology has led to an advent of exciting new and innovative technologies to be released onto the market, indicating a rise in positive patient outcomes for the 11 million people in the UK living with a neurological condition.

This year at the Neuro Convention we have responded to the research trends and the direction of the sector to focus heavily on neurological rehabilitation, and how the technology and clinical practices used affect patient outcomes.

Hundreds of neuro professionals, from physiotherapists and occupational therapists to case managers and directors will converge on the NEC to discuss, debate and demonstrate the most important neurological breakthroughs in the areas of research, technology and clinical practice.

The convention will play host to an unrivalled programme of educational CPD accredited seminars and workshops delivered by figures from organisations pioneering the next wave of technological and clinical advancements.

Illustrating this is the return of the highly popular University of Plymouth Workshops, with seminars on Parkinson's, cerebella ataxia and hereditary spastic paraparesis among other poignant research areas.

The convention will also become the UK’s neurological nucleus for two days, welcoming over 50 exhibiting companies and organisations that are producing the next wave of products, technology and solutions to revolutionise clinical practice and improve patient quality of life.

Combining thought leaders from education, clinical practice, and research, along with some of the most innovative companies and organisations in the sector, the Neuro Convention seamlessly compiles pioneering research, free training, live demonstrations and immersive exhibits that is now at your fingertips.
