On Thursday 26 and Friday 27 September 2024, the first WFN Neurology Update (WNU) 2024 will take place. This is a virtual 2-day meeting, which will give an update on the most prevalent neurological diseases in the morning, and add teaching courses in the afternoon. It will be virtual, and can be accessed either live or upon request.
This commitment for a neurology update is new, and also serves to fill the gap between the biennial World Congresses of Neurology (WCNs). As at the WCN, the WFN will continue virtual access to our meetings, as the reach of the WFN meetings has increased and reached 132 countries at the most recent WCN XXVI, which was both in-person and virtual. WNU 2024 is designed to transcend geographical and logistical barriers, making it accessible to neurologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals worldwide.
Over two days, we will cover the latest updates in critical areas such as Epilepsy, Dementia, Multiple Sclerosis, Movement Disorders, Stroke, Headache, and neuromuscular diseases.
We are committed to making WNU 2024 accessible to all, including low and middle-income countries, ensuring that as many people as possible can benefit from the latest neurological insights and advancements.
The digital format of WNU 2024 offers convenience and fosters a global dialogue to enrich our collective understanding and practice of neurology. The event will be CME accredited, allowing you to earn continuing education credits, contributing to your professional development.
See you online, 26-27 September 2024!
