Our usual mix of case presentations (neurology/neurophysiology) and invited lectures is of interest to trainees/consultants and nerve specialists/non-specialists alike. This years meeting will take place at the Titanic Hotel, Belfast. The meeting is in person or virtual via Vimeo, with pricing the same for both to reflect rising AV costs and encourage in-person attendance; pricing includes lunch and coffee/tea breaks for in-person attendees. There will be a dinner after the meeting which is booked separately on the website (dinner listed as a separate meeting).
This page is for those planning to attend IN PERSON only (if planning to attend ONLINE, use this page to view the programme, but please register through the ONLINE page).
The meeting is kindly sponsored by a number of pharmaceutical companies who are contributing to the cost of the venue and subsistence: many thanks to argenx, Grifols and Takeda.
The education course and BPNS spring meeting will be held in the Titanic Hotel. The hotel is housed in a beautifully restored former headquarters of Harland & Wolff, the shipyard where the RMS Titanic was constructed. It is located near the Titanic Belfast visitor attraction, which is a stunning museum dedicated to the Titanic’s story. The hotel is easily accessible from Belfast City airport:
And from Belfast Grand Central Station:
If travelling from the island of Ireland bus and rail links are regular and reliable. If flying from England, Scotland or Wales, we recommend Belfast City airport which supports multiple flights per day from all regional airports. Belfast International airport is another option but is slightly further from the city (1 hour bus: 300a to Belfast Grand central Station). Early booking is recommended but cost for a return flight is between £50 and £120 per person.
A limited number of rooms (20) have been reserved by the meetings for attendees at £139 B&B single occupancy per room, please contact the hotel directly to make your reservation (booking code 329939). There are multiple other reasonably priced options for accommodation in the area.
The conference meal will be held in the hotel on Thursday evening 19th March at 7:30 pm. The cost will be £50 per person and include a pre-dinner drink and 3 course dinner. A maximum of 50 places are available so early booking is recommended (the dinner is listed as a separate 'meeting' on the website, so book through that page).
We look forward to seeing you all in Belfast. Céad míle fáilte
