Content and Learning Objectives
NSpine 2017 aims to provide a broad update on contemporary issues surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders. In keeping with NSpine`s multidisciplinary approach, NSpine 2017 will have an integrated programme, focusing on congenital and acquired disorders of the paediatric spine. An International and National faculty has been selected to provide a forum for discussion on a range of spinal topics, including paediatric spinal deformity, spinal tumours, achondroplasia, mucopolysaccharidosis, trauma and Chiari. There will be a focus session on controversies and current surgical techniques for complex spinal dysraphism hosted by leading international experts in the field.
The course will be an opportunity for lively debate and interdisciplinary interaction. Delegates will have the opportunity of picking and choosing from a range of sessions, across four days to suit their particular interests.
