We are delighted to invite you to the UK CSF Advisory Group Meeting 2025, the official meeting of the SBNS Hydrocephalus Section. This event is a key forum for sharing the latest developments in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disorders, bringing together a multidisciplinary community of clinicians, researchers, and allied health professionals committed to advancing care, innovation, and understanding in this field.
This year’s programme will feature a comprehensive update on hydrocephalus, idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), CSF leaks, normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), and other complex CSF-related conditions. The event will include invited lectures from national and international experts, clinical case discussions, and free paper presentations showcasing the latest research and service innovations across the UK and beyond.
We welcome abstract submissions and encourage professionals working in neurosurgery, neurology, radiology, ophthalmology, and other related disciplines to share their work. The meeting provides an excellent opportunity to present research, audit data, or service development initiatives, and to network with colleagues across the CSF care pathway.
