Symposium Paediatric and Adult Neuromuscular Diseases
April 23, 2026, 14:00–17:30
Dear colleagues
We are happy to invite you to our annual symposium of the kosek certified Reference Center for Pediatric and Adult Neuromuscular Diseases.
In light of the rapidly evolving treatment landscape for neuromuscular diseases, we would like to discuss with you this year the possibilities we have and challenges we face measuring the outcome of our patients that benefit from such therapies. What are relevant outcomes used in studies? Can we transfer them to our clinical practice and are they suitable for a day-to-day work? What are possible future perspectives? Colleagues from different medical specialities, professions, and also other Swiss reference centers have accepted to share their knowledge.
We would be happy to have you live on site, also for the discussion in between, but a virtual participation for those unable to come is available as well.
Hoping you find the topics appealing, we look forward to meeting you soon.
Coordination: Prof. O. Scheidegger, Prof. A. Klein, Prof. Dr. med. U. Fischer, Prof. Dr. med. M. Kopp
