Advances and Innovations in Brain Health: Transforming Care for Epilepsy, Stroke and Migraine
An ILAE-sponsored initiative presented in association with the Epilepsy Society of the Caribbean and SLBMC
Two clinical days on migraine, epilepsy, and stroke, plus a dedicated Sunday nursing track — strengthening noncommunicable disease care and health systems across Antigua and the wider Caribbean. Can't travel? Join select sessions virtually from anywhere.
Stroke, epilepsy, and migraine rarely arrive in isolation — and the professionals who manage them, from attending neurologists to bedside nursing staff, need a shared forum to compare protocols, share outcomes, and refine care pathways together.
Hosted at the new conference center on the AUA campus, this hybrid program brings that forum to Antigua, built around resource-optimized strategies for small island health systems: case discussion, current guidelines, and time for the hallway conversations that conferences are really for. SLBMC is a World Stroke Organization-recognized Essential Stroke Center.
Full session-by-session schedules, faculty, and timings for all three days — including the AM/PM breakdown for each track.
