Venue: B. Braun Medical ltd, Sheffield Paediatric neurosurgical rotation or on-call can be daunting for junior neurosurgical trainees due to lack of exposure to paediatric patients and conditions affecting children. However, it is crucial for junior trainees to be equipped with the fundamentals of managing these patients to safeguard and improve patient care. This will also enable trainees to optimise and enhance their learning during their paediatric neurosurgical rotation or on-call.

This event is run on the 2 Oct 2024 and 3 March 2025 The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, University College London Hospitals Foundation Trust & UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology The need for multidisciplinary working in neuro-oncology is well established but a common theme that will be addressed is the need for better understanding between core specialties within the Neuro-oncology Multidisciplinary Team. To address this, this course has been designed for Trainees, Consultants and Clinical Nurse Specialists in the core specialities of neuro-oncology – Neurology, Neurosurgery, Clinical Oncology, Neuroradiology, Neuropathology and Palliative Care. The Aims of the Course are: - To introduce the basic principles and recent advances in Neuro-oncological treatments - To develop a standardised approach to the diagnosis and classification of brain and spinal tumours using modern imaging, histopathology and molecular genetic techniques. - To develop an understanding of the multidisciplinary management of patients with primary and metastatic brain and spine tumours, and other rarer tumours of the nervous system. - To develop an understanding of the symptomatic management of the brain tumour patient with neurological symptoms, including palliative and end-of-life care and treatment related toxicity. - To provide an opportunity for multidisciplinary discussion of common and rare cases Venue: Basement Lecture Theatre 33 Queen Square, 33 Queen Square London WC1N 3BG
