WELCOME INVITATION

I am pleased to announce that the 16th Migraine Trust International Symposium will be held in London from 18th-20th September 2006, and honoured to accept the chairmanship of this conference.

The Migraine Trust International Symposium is the longest established international headache conference in the world.  It is highly respected by researchers, having provided us with a truly independent and professional forum for the best in headache research since 1976.  It also complements the Migraine Trust’s ongoing work in the education of sufferers and health professionals, as well as its international research funding programme.

The 16^th International Symposium will focus on Research – The Way to the Future. Research is the only way ahead for our patients it provides understanding, new therapies and at its core hope. For those of us who attend it is a chance to communicate new ideas and revise old ones. For our patients such meetings are a real chance to develop skills to minimise their disability.

I therefore have pleasure in inviting you to help contribute to this process by participating in the 16^th Migraine Trust International Symposium.

Following the 16th Migraine Trust International Symposium, a Symposium on Childhood Headache will take place on Thursday 21st September at the Kensington Town Hall. For further information on how to register and the programme click HERE

We look forward to seeing you in London in September 2006.

Professor Peter J. Goadsby

Symposium Chairman
