Sharpening the cutting edge of ADHD science and clinical practice.
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Conference Committee, I am delighted to invite you to the EUNETHYDIS 2nd International Conference, entitled "Sharpening the cutting edge of ADHD science and clinical practice", which is being held in Barcelona, Spain from Wednesday 23rd to Friday 25th May 2012.
In the tradition of EUNETHYDIS meetings, our primary focus will be on ADHD and related disorders. Our ultimate objective is to better understand the nature of ADHD in order to ground diagnosis and treatment on best current evidence and stimulate therapeutic innovation. This conference will encourage the exchange of ideas and data and enhance the collaboration between scientists and clinicians working in the field of ADHD. It is by working together in this way that best we can improve the care of our patients and their families.
A global faculty of distinguished and leading experts in ADHD will host a scientifically challenging programme of plenary sessions, short-courses, clinical seminars and satellite symposia, all of which will be relevant to ADHD in everyday clinical practice.
The plenary sessions are built around 'key themes' in ADHD each with a key note lecture and presentations by expert speakers on the associated topics. These themes have been carefully selected to provide a coherent progression from basic science (genetics, environmental influences and latest developments in neuroscience) to clinical practice (assessment, diagnosis and treatment trends and emerging co-morbidities).
The conference will also provide you with wonderful opportunities to network closely with your colleagues and meet internationally renowned experts in ADHD. We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones! I do hope you will join us for what promises to be a stimulating and enjoyable conference and I encourage all delegates to visit the exhibition area and the sponsors that have helped make this conference possible. Please register early and do encourage your colleagues to join us in Barcelona!
Best wishes,
Dr. David Coghill
