Benefits of Membership
Why join?
- To gain wider knowledge of Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida. Many
members say that they have received a major part of their
education in these topics through membership of SRHSB and
attendance at Scientific Meetings.
- Opportunities for young scientists, junior professionals and
trainees to meet established researchers in their field in an
informal atmosphere, to share ideas and develop collaborations
internationally. We have members from over 25 countries.
- We promote research across the diverse fields of study relevant
to these conditions. Spina bifida and hydrocephalus affect most
systems in the body and are of interest to almost all healthcare
specialties, from neurosurgery, psychology, dementia, nutrition,
orthopaedics, urology, continence issues, community care, molecular
neurobiology, nursing, dental and optical provision and many
others. We aim to promote thinking across the false frontiers that
are often set up between these specialties.
