Our Research Symposium is a one day event for medical professionals and researchers to connect, share insights and discuss key clinical and scientific issues.

This day will include:

  • Lived experience insights
  • Insights into current UK research, the JLA research priorities, and the Surveillance Study
  • An overview of PANS PANDAS Unveiled (Isca – University of Exeter)
  • Poster presentations from early career researchers
  • Breakout workshops: clinical research, laboratory research and mental health research
  • A facilitated panel discussion on collaborative working

Our panel discussion will help shape a clear plan for future collaboration and research. We will explore how to work effectively together across borders and specialties, ensuring that our efforts deliver the greatest possible impact for those affected by PANS and PANDAS.

Our Research Symposium is an invitation only event. If you would like any more information, please contact our Conference Manager, Claire Baggott: claire.baggott@panspandasuk.org
