Perspectives on PANS is dedicated to advancing understanding, research, clinical practice, and family support around PANS and PANDAS.

We hope this event will be the launchpad for the newly published UK guidelines, due later this year.

 

“This conference will be an excellent opportunity for improving awareness, empowering families, driving clinical understanding and excellence, and fostering collaboration between researchers and clinicians both across the UK and internationally.”

– Vicky Burford, PANS PANDAS UK CEO.

Dates: Thurs 8th October – Sat 10th October 2026
Venue: Ashorne Hill Conference Centre, Leamington Spa
