WEBINARS
There is one webinar planned this month:
‘DBS Select: An Interactive Experience’ will be held on Wednesday, September 10 from 18.00-19.30 hrs CET. DBS Select is an educational tool designed to better inform patients and caregivers about deep brain stimulation (DBS) – a technique widely used to treat movement disorders, such as dystonia.
Join Dr. Alexandra Boogers (Leuven, Belgium) and Dr. Harith Akram (London, UK) as they introduce the project, explain what DBS surgery entails, and discuss how daily life is following DBS. Register for this event now by clicking here
