It's going to be a quiet few days here at Medigarments headquarters as many of our staff members will be attending and exhibiting at Neuro Convention 2023. The event, which is the only one of its kind in the whole of Europe, is aimed at professionals working in neurology and neuroscience and exists to aid in the improvement of patient outcomes across the board.
Neuro Convention focuses on a number of specialist fields in the sector of neurology, including brain/spinal injuries, rehabilitation, mental health and diagnostics. Delegates from Medigarments are looking forward to attending many of the 50+ CPD-accredited seminars that comprise the main feature of the unique event. Confirmed speakers include:
