The goal of the SFI FutureNeuro centre is to transform the patient journey for people in Ireland with for chronic and rare neurological disease. In practice this means reducing the time to diagnosis, delivering precision medicine and leveraging well curated patient data and samples to inform research and support clinical care. The reality of successfully achieving this mission is based on a shared purpose and strong collaborations between the scientific and clinical networks in Ireland. Based on learings from a pilot conference in 2018, this conference will build scientific capacity among the neurologists, advance opportunities for clinicians to engage in research opportunities, ensure that scientific direction of the centre is founded on actual clinical and patient needs and postion Ireland to compete on the international reseach stage.
