Thank you so much Paula Blomster Anja Sander and all friends from Messukeskus, Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre and European Academy of Neurology for excellent collaboration and great experience of working so successfully together for common goal 🌹

The 10th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology is set to open this weekend at Messukeskus, Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre in #Helsinki. From June 29 to July 2, the EAN Congress will bring together neurologists, other medical professionals in the neurology field, and doctors specialising in neurology from around the world to #Finland. As part of the congress, there will also be an extensive exhibition by the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. This year, a record number of abstracts were submitted to the congress, with 2777 neurologists presenting their latest research. The event will also see a record attendance of over 6900 participants. “Securing the congress for Finland signifies that we are a key player in neurology beyond our size. It is important to host such a significant and comprehensive congress in Finland. The number of participants reflects Helsinki's and Finland’s appeal and reputation as a congress organiser. At the same time, the congress increases the appeal of neurology as a future field for young people in Finland,” says Professor Reetta Kalviainen, Chair of the Finnish Organising Committee. #EAN2024 #EANeurology #10yearsEAN  #FinnishCongressHeroes  https://lnkd.in/dnKKvh8m

Eilen 7.7. 2024 Ylen:n tv-uutisissa epilepsiaa sairastava Mari Sydänmaalakka kertoi, että sairauteen liittyy vielä paljon syrjintää ja häpeää esim. työelämässä. Prof. Reetta Kalviainen Neurocenter Finland:n Kuopio Brain & Mind:sta totesi lähetyksessä, että epilepsian yleisyydestä huolimatta, usein ei tiedetä, että sairaus on muutakin kuin kouristelukohtauksia. "Voi olla myös kognitiivisia eli ajatteluun liittyviä oireita, muistioireita ja psyykkisiä oireita. Joillakin on vaikeuksia sosiaalisessa kanssakäymisessä tai neurologisia oireita epilepsian syystä riippuen". Itä-Suomen yliopiston yhteiskunnallisen oikeustutkimuksen professori Kaijus Ervasti kertoi sairastavien kokevan myös vaikeuksia työpaikan saamisessa.
