10/4/2024 – EPIPED Course – Girona
|
|
EPIPED Course on Treatment Strategies in Paediatric Epilepsies proved once again being very much appreciated, with almost 80 participants, mentors and mentees, adult and child neurologists from 15 different countries! The course allowed attendees to discuss with experts about the best clinical practices and therapeutic strategies. This is the session programme we enjoyed! This was the 1st year of the 3years training cycle (2024-2026), held in Girona, a beautiful and sunny city in Catalunya, Spain. Professors Alexis Arzimanoglou, Jaume Campistol Plana, and Maša Malenica have been the course directors. The training course had the endorsement of ERN EpiCARE, ILAE Europe and other scientific societies. We enjoyed plenary sessions on relevant topics, as well as practical training sessions where participants were able to discuss use cases and situations related on treatment strategies in pediatric epilepsies. Moreover, we were able to enjoy networking in this lovely place.

|
|
On 21 March, ERN EpiCARE had the honour to welcome two eminent colleagues, also members of the Ukrainian chapter of the International League Against Epilepsy, Professors Andriy Dubenko and Volodymyr Kharytonov. They shared with us their experience during these 2 years of war, in an educational webinar on “Managing Epilepsies in Crisis Situations – The Ukraine Experience”.
The webinar was moderated by Professors Maša Malenica and Alexis Arzimanoglou. They both renewed the full support of EpiCARE to patients and colleagues from Ukraine, in sharing expertise and for orienting patients, particularly war refugees with rare epilepsies, towards reference centres in Europe.
