ABN Acute Neurology Bootcamp 2026

Event Notes:

The Association of British Neurologists (ABN) is delighted to announce the return of the Acute Neurology Boot Camp 2026 – a highly successful initiative, now in its seventh year. The event is a focused, practical and a confidence-building course designed specifically for neurology registrars preparing for acute on-call practice and neurology registrars returning to training after a period of leave.

Following the success of previous years, the Boot Camp will once again run over a day and a half, allowing for a comprehensive, high-impact programme tailored to the realities of acute neurology in the UK.

CPD certificates will again be awarded for live attendance, recognising your participation and supporting your ongoing professional development.

Why Attend the ABN Acute Neurology Boot Camp?

Starting acute neurology on call can feel daunting. This Boot Camp is designed to equip you with the practical knowledge and clinical confidence you need from day one.

We cover the most common acute neurology presentations, referrals and ward consults you’re likely to encounter – helping you approach each scenario clearly and systematically.
