OUCH (UK) Summer Conference London 2022

London School of Economics

Sunday 18th September 2022

Event cancelled.  There have not been enough registrations for this event to go ahead and we are very sorry that we've had to cancel it for the time being.  We are all disappointed but there have been a number of factors counting against a face-to-face conference at the moment, including Covid, public transport and cost of living crisis.  We will be getting in touch with all those who have booked and will be processing refunds soon.  

We will be arranging an online event again soon.

OUCH (UK) are pleased to be able to return to London to present a packed event specifically for Cluster Headache sufferers and supporters.

As usual, the event will be a mixture of talks by the UK's leading Cluster Headache specialists, information sessions and an opportunity to meet and talk with other Cluster Headache sufferers to share experiences and meet and make new friends.

Our medical speakers will take you on a journey through Cluster Headache and other primary headache disorders, telling you about the current treatments available as well as what studies and trials are on-going and what the future holds for Cluster Headache treatment and management.

CONFIRMED SPEAKERS FOR THE EVENT:

• Professor Peter Goadsby, Professor of Neurology, King's College Hospital, London, patron and chair of OUCH (UK) 

• Dr Anna Andreou, leads headache research at the Headache Research Lab at the Wolfson Centre for Age-Related Diseases, King's College London and the Headache Centre, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust

• Dr Giorgio Lambru, Consultant Neurologist at Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London 

• OUCH (UK) Trustees and Officers

We are currently adding to the line up so watch this space.

Throughout the day there will be plenty of opportunities to chat to our speakers, trustees and officers, as well as other sufferers and supporters.

Back by popular demand in the afternoon will be a targeted set of group discussions on various topics that affect sufferers; this is a chance to question the OUCH (UK) team and each other about treatments and employment support, as well as more general questions.

A light sandwich lunch will be provided.
