Patient Session – Saturday 5 September 2026
MTIS and the associated Patient Session aims to ensure clinicians and scientists interested in headaches can join our most important stakeholder: headache patients, particularly with migraine, and those who care for them to share new information and experiences. The latest understanding of headache biology, novel treatments and information on the impacts of migraine affects all attendees.
The Patient Session will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 5 September 2026, featuring clear, accessible summaries of the latest research and key messages from the scientific sessions, presented in a way that is meaningful for patients.
This is event is free of charge to attend and a registration link for this event will be available soon.
Teaching Courses
Teaching courses are a core part of the pre-conference programme, created to support frontline healthcare professionals who manage headache disorders in everyday practice. They are specifically aimed at primary care practitioners, allied health professionals, and other clinicians involved in patient care.
These focused educational sessions are delivered by experienced clinicians, general practitioners, and researchers who specialise in headache care, particularly migraine. Each course is designed to be practical, up to date, and directly relevant to real-world clinical settings.
The aim is to give attendees greater confidence to recognise and understand headache disorders, manage them effectively, and support patients in their day-to-day practice. By strengthening knowledge and decision-making at the first point of care, these courses contribute to better outcomes for patients and a more consistent standard of treatment across services.
