🧠⚡ Academic Symposium 2026 — Focus: Epilepsy ⚡🧠

What an incredible evening! 🎉

UQ Neurological Society, together with the Queensland Pharmacy Students’ Association, successfully hosted our Academic Symposium: Epilepsy, bringing together students and experts from across neurology, neuroscience and pharmacy.

A huge thank you to our amazing speakers for sharing their clinical expertise, research insights and lived-experience perspectives on epilepsy. From expert talks and audience Q&A to networking over dinner, it was fantastic to see students from different disciplines coming together to learn and connect. 💜

Thank you to QPSA, all of our speakers, volunteers and everyone who joined us and made the night possible!

We hope you walked away with new knowledge, new connections, and a deeper understanding of epilepsy. 🧠✨

See you at the next UQNS event!
