1st International Clinical Care Symposium on SMA
Medical Emergencies in SMA: pathophysiology, prevention, and response.
SMA Europe takes great pride in launching its 1st International Clinical Care Symposium on SMA, taking place on 29th and 30th August 2025 at the Quark Hotel in Milan, Italy.
The Symposium will focus on the medical and supportive care needs faced by people living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and their caregivers, which often extend beyond the scope of clinical treatments and require a multidisciplinary approach. Although standard-of-care guidelines for SMA provide essential frameworks for treatment and management, many needs remain unaddressed.
The first edition, titled “Medical Emergencies in SMA: pathophysiology, prevention, and response”, will address the aetiology and management of acute events that can lead to life-threatening emergencies in people living with SMA.
Audience
The Symposium will bring together an international group of multidisciplinary SMA clinical experts (including physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nutritionists, speech specialists) and researchers, along with patient advocates and industry representatives.
Accreditation
The event will be accredited for continuing medical education for healthcare professionals and will also provide an excellent opportunity for early-stage researchers and clinicians to network and share their work.
