5th Biennial EPNS Hybrid Caucasus Teaching Course
The neurological approach to disorders of language and behaviour in the school aged child
Friday 18 and Saturday 19 November 2022
The EPNS has been organising training courses in the Caucasus region in alternate years covering topics related to paediatric neurology since 2014. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic the 4th in the series transitioned to a fully virtual event in 2020, and in 2022 we were delighted to offer the best of both worlds by welcoming delegates back to Tbilisi whilst also offering the flexibility of virtual attendance for delegates where this worked better.
The EPNS sincerely thanks Professor Sophia Bakhtadze for her excellent organisation of this successful event. Thanks are also extended to the Professor Francisco Carratala, Ass Prof Coriene Catsman-Berrevoets, Dr Hillary Lloyd, Dr Alasdair Parker, Professor Philippe Paquier, Dr Biayna Sukhudyan, Professor Tinatin Tchincharauli, Professor Tinatin Tkemaladze for their stimulating presentations plus all delegates for contributing to the event.
