ANZAN EEG Course and ESA Clinical Epilepsy Course

Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists (ANZAN) EEG Course and Epilepsy Society of Australia (ESA) Clinical Epilepsy Course is organized by Seed Events and will be held from Feb 09 - 11, 2024 at The Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia.

Description:
In 2024 the ANZAN and ESA will hold the Annual Clinical Epilepsy and EEG Courses in Melbourne. The Clinical Epilepsy Course and EEG Course are intended for neurology trainees but practising neurologists and epileptologists will find them both instructive and a good update.

The Clinical Epilepsy Course is a one-day, case-based workshop focusing on the practical management of paediatric and adult patients with epilepsy.  Participants will discuss each case in small groups under the leadership of an epileptologist, followed by a short didactic summary by the presenter. The 2024 course will focus on common clinical problems faced by doctors caring for patients with epilepsy in the hospital setting. For neurology trainees, this course will provide a foundation for you to deal with issues encountered on a daily basis and attendance is strongly recommended.

The EEG Course is held over two days and provides a theoretical and practical background to the reading and reporting of routine adult and paediatric EEG. The format consists of seven 90-minute sessions, each starting with a 30-minute didactic lecture followed by a 60-minute, small group, active-participation tutorial where EEG examples will be demonstrated and discussed under the direction of an experienced EEG tutor. Topics include basic technical aspects of EEG, the normal awake and asleep EEG, and epileptiform and non-epileptiform abnormalities in adults and children. In 2024, as in previous years, the course will include two lectures and tutorial sessions on EEG in the Intensive Care Unit and Ictal EEG. These will run in parallel with the main ANZAN EEG course and be available to neurology trainees who have previously attended the course and neurologists.

Please Note*

• The courses will run in person only for all local, interstate and New Zealand attendees.
• Virtual attendance is only available to low and middle-income countries in the Asia-Oceanian region.
