British Inherited Metabolic Disease Group
The
Annual Symposium incorporates a symposium with guest lectures and
contributions from Group members , Trainees' and Nurses' meetings, the
group's AGM and a conference dinner.
This year's general topic: Genetic Metabolic Disorders that can be Treated with Vitamins or Co-Factors

children who present with severe acidosis, hyperammonaemia, acute
encephalopathy, seizures, hypotonia, neurodevelopmental delay or
regression. This course is for those who want to be able to identify
these patients and treat them effectively with the vitamin / cofactor
and, where necessary, adjunctive treatments such as an appropriate
diet.
The course is aimed at members of the BIMDG (including specialist nurses, dietitians and biochemists) but non-members are welcome, numbers permitting.
