Groundbreaking research takes over a decade to reach those in need. Join us on Friday, March 6, 2026, for the PPP Implementation Science Symposium to see how we are closing this gap.

The event will take place on the morning of the 6th of January 2026, 9.00am - 5.00pm.

Join us to discover and discuss the latest advancements in paediatric neuroscience. This one-day event will bring together neuroscientists and clinicians to discuss critical topics affecting children's brain health, including Autism, ADHD, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Mental Health, Movement and Neuromuscular Disorders, as well as the potential for applications of AI in Neurosciences.

This symposium will be a comprehensive and engaging event, fostering collaboration and innovation in the quest to improve paediatric brain health. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from and network with leading experts in paediatric neuroscience on innovative diagnostic tools, early detection, the role of genetics and environment and novel treatment strategies to support children and their families, with an outlook on how artificial intelligence could revolutionize the field of neuroscience.

Otto Wolff Lecture

The event also recognises one of the great GOSH ICH Clinical Professor of Paediatrics, Otto Wolff, who maintained an active interest in Paediatrics and attended many of the sessions until his death at the age of 90 in April 2010. 

This online short course is designed to educate the next generation of neuroscientists and neurologists in studying neurological disorders using human pluripotent stem cell (PSC) models, including both embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived models. This course will offer the comprehensive knowledge necessary for conducting foundational, translational, and preclinical research with PSC-derived neuronal models.

The dates of the course are the 13th, 20th, 27th May and 3rd of June 2026.

Fundamentals of Immunisation course

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health are running a Fundamentals of Immunisation course. This 2-day intense theoretical course is designed for those new to a role in immunisation and is most suited to those who give or advise on a range of different vaccines.

The course comprises of a series of lectures from national immunisation experts and will provide delegates with the latest information on the range of topics included in the ‘Core Curriculum for Immunisation Training’ . A basic level of prior immunisation knowledge and familiarity with the Green Book (Immunisation against infectious disease) will be assumed.
