About the event 

King’s Health Partners Neurosciences invites you to this one-day Maudsley Neurotechnology Conference to share recent innovations in neurotechnology treatment applications for psychiatric and neurological disorders, and to network with those involved in neurotechnology research in these specialties. 

Who should attend? 

This event is open to any individual or organisation with an interest in neurotechnology such as Clinicians, Industry, Students, Trainees, Academic Scientists, Researchers, Allied Health Professionals and those with a general interest in neuroscience. 

Why attend? 

Attending this event will give you an opportunity to learn more about advancements in the neurotechnology sector and will allow you to network and make meaningful connections with other professionals. 

Programme 

We will be featuring an exciting line-up of speakers which include industry leaders and academic experts working across a range of clinical neurotechnology applications such as brain-computer interfaces and invasive and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (including transcranial magnetic stimulation, temporal interference stimulation, focussed ultrasound and deep brain stimulation). 

Please see the 'more info' tab for further detail about the programme and speakers.

Places are limited and will be assigned on a first come - first served basis. 

This event is in-person only.

The early bird rates below are available until 14th March. After this date the standard ticket rate will be £175, Concession rates will be - postgraduate students / professional trainees / Early Career Researchers / Allied Health Professionals £100; undergraduate students £75

We will be presenting an overview of our work, including outcomes, learning points and specially developed resources for clinicians and teams of health professionals working in this area. 

The PEACE Pathway is an innovative Pathway for Eating disorders and Autism developed from Clinical Experience. Our research suggests that around a third of people with an eating disorder may be autistic, or present with high autistic traits. Whilst autistic people with eating disorders require adapted treatments, prior to this pathway there was no systematic guidance or support for clinicians working with this population.  

With the PEACE Pathway, we have introduced a specialised treatment track for autistic people, and people with high autistic traits, in our national eating disorder service in South London and Maudsley NHS Trust. This has included regular support and supervision for clinicians, the provision of training in recognising and adapting treatments around autism, and an autism assessment pathway for individuals with high features but no prior diagnosis.  

We hope that attendees will be able to take some of our experience and ideas back to their clinic and be interested in developing collaboration with our team. 

What previous attendees said: 

“A really informative and thorough conference. It was incredibly interesting to hear from the variety of speakers and the different areas of input. Thank you so much.” 

“It is amazing to be taken through the start of the PEACE journey and seeing what has been achieved to date in helping to improve patient experience and treatment outcomes. It has been an interesting conference to attend. Thank you greatly to all the organisers and participants.”

There is an urgent need for new interventions for psychiatric and neurological conditions. Experimental medicine studies and early-phase trials are important in providing mechanistic information, optimising and de-risking therapeutic development before proceeding to later stage clinical trials.

This two-day, in-person course aims to inspire and prepare researchers embarking on careers in translational and experimental medicine approaches to psychiatric and neurological conditions.

It is hosted by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC).

About the course
The course will introduce pioneering approaches across research methods, including neuroimaging, psychopharmacology, digital therapeutics, sleep, neuromodulation and machine learning/AI, whilst covering a range of practical essentials – from how to ensure that your study design is feasible, incorporate participant and patient perspectives, embed reproducibility and open science, and foster industry partnerships. In short, the course will highlight the skills you need to succeed and provide guidance on how to develop them.

The course will feature inspiring talks and case studies, panel discussions with Q&As and networking opportunities, and will be delivered by guest speakers from the NIHR Maudsley BRC, University researchers, clinical professionals, industry experts and research participants who have direct experience of taking part in translational and experimental medicine studies.

Dates
Thursday 13 March, 10:00 - 17:30 (followed by drinks reception until 19:30pm) Friday 14 March 2025, 9:30 - 16:30
