The SBNS Meetings Committee and our colleagues from the Institute of Neurological Sciences, Glasgow are looking forward to welcoming you all to the SBNS Spring Meeting, which will be held 27-30th April 2027 at The DoubleTree by Hilton, Glasgow Central.
We are pleased to announce that the International Society for Global Neurosurgery (ISGNS) will be joining the SBNS Spring Meeting and contributing to the academic programme.
The UK CSF Subspecialty Group, led by its Chair, Mr Ahmed Toma, will also be joining the meeting and hosting a half-day satellite meeting on the afternoon of Tuesday 27 April.
All delegates are welcome to attend this session, which is free of charge. However, delegates must register their interest via the conference registration line. This will be an excellent opportunity to hear the latest developments and updates in the field of CSF disorders. The agenda will be posted once confirmed.

In April 2024 the SBNS Launched its Code of Conduct for SBNS Meetings - The Three Principles of Prevention - ST.O.P
Don’t use your status to influence/implicitly coerce the vulnerable or more junior
Do not use conferences/educational events as opportunities to seek sexual gratification
Consider your conduct around/after SBNS events, remembering that you represent our society and its values, for example wearing societal identification in public venues
Consider how it may be interpreted if you are photographed/witnessed when you are on study/professional leave
Remember, alcohol is the most common date rape drug – be safe; don’t misuse it
Are you blind to your own inappropriate actions?
Are you ignoring poor behaviour in others?
“Check in” - If you see inappropriate e.g. creepy/sleazy behaviour, and you feel able to do so, ask the “recipient” if they are OK
“Call it out” - If you see inappropriate e.g. creepy/sleazy behaviour, and you feel able to do so, inform the “perpetrator” they are being
e.g. creepy/sleazy, e.g. if it is a friend of yours or someone you know
