Te Pae Convention Centre in Christchurch

On behalf of the Movement Disorder Society of Australia and New Zealand (MDSANZ), we warmly invite you to attend the MDSANZ Scientific Meeting, to be held in Christchurch New Zealand from 25 – 27 February 2022. The meeting will be held at Te Pae Convention Centre in Christchurch. We are hopeful that people will be able to attend in person, but a virtual platform will also be available to join online. We are planning for all scenarios. The programme is very broad and this year, focusing on where movement disorders cross-over into other medical specialties – ‘Moving across borders’ is our theme. Sessions will focus on psychiatry, genetics, cognition, immunology, infection, metabolic disease as well as scientific updates and video cases. The talks will be practical and relevant for a wide audience, including movement disorder and general neurologists, non-neurologists, speciality nurses and trainees.
