The conference was a life changer for me. In 3 years it was the first time I had met and spoke to others 'just like me'.
This conference was organised by the Brain & Spine Foundation in November 2016 at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, 33 Queen Square, as part of the charity’s commitment to improve the quality of life of people affected by neurological problems. It was the UK’s first conference dedicated to the neurological condition subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and over 120 delegates from all corners of the UK attended.
