About this Event
The Neuromuscular Network brings together paediatric neurologists, consultants, AHPs, and CNSs across London to share best practice, discuss complex cases, and develop care pathways for children with neuromuscular conditions including SMA and DMD. The aim of this meeting is to provide updates on diagnosis and management, facilitate shared learning through case discussions, and plan future network priorities.
The event is delivered in partnership with Muscular Dystrophy UK, and has received sponsorship from Santhera, Biogen, Italfarmaco, Alturix, and Lupin Neurosciences. The sponsors have had no input into the educational content or organisation of the event.
