DescriptionJoin us for the End of Year SpR Training Day on Thursday December 12th at the Northern Stage in the Mezzanine. This meeting will include discussions, presentations, and networking opportunities focused in the field of Neurology. Delegates can join the organisers and speakers for dinner at Blackfriars. We are charging a registration fee this year because, despite securing some commercial sponsorship for the event, this may not be sufficient to cover the costs of venue hire, the buffet lunch, travel/accommodation for the speaker and administrative support for the event provided, which has been provided by Wendy Grunson from Newcastle University.
