Meetings and Events

The Society's Annual Scientific Meeting is our forum for international networking and discussion of hydrocephalus and spina bifida. The meeting is held over four days in June or July each year.

The aim of the meetings is to encourage members, including junior professionals, to present their latest research results. The meetings are recognised by the United Kingdom Royal Medical and Nursing Colleges, equivalent organizations in the USA and other professional bodies for the purposes of continuous professional development.
