What is the event?
The ALS Caregivers Congress is the most important annual gathering in the Netherlands regarding care for motor neuron diseases. The organization is in the hands of the national center of expertise, which thereby provides a platform for sharing the latest medical insights. The congress serves as the central hub where theory and practice meet to continuously improve the quality of life for patients.
Program and content
The day’s program consists of a varied plenary session and interactive breakout sessions. Experts will update attendees on the latest scientific research, clinical studies, and technological tools. Unlike previous editions, the workshops this year are not strictly separated by discipline, which greatly promotes interdisciplinary dialogue. Additionally, the extensive information market offers an overview of innovative healthcare products, and there is ample opportunity for peer supervision.
Who is the event for?
This scientific congress is specifically intended for all healthcare professionals dealing with the diagnoses of ALS, PSMA, and PLS. This includes rehabilitation physicians, neurologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, and social workers, among others. Nurses, home care teams, general practitioners, and staff at home ventilation centers will also find the necessary in-depth knowledge and practical tools for their daily specialist care practice.
