ESCS Pre-conference Workshop: Championing the 'Underrepresented populations' in Stroke Care and Research

When: Tuesday, 22nd August from 1:30PM - 4:30PM

Where: Tennis HQ 1

Fee: $25

Included: Lunch and afternoon tea

We invite all early and mid-career stroke researchers to this year’s ESCS (Emerging Stroke Clinicians and Scientists) workshop entitled ‘Championing Underrepresented Populations in Stroke Care and Research’ which aims to highlight the importance of equity and inclusivity, with a particular focus on women in stroke, stroke survivors with aphasia, first nations people and young stroke research. The session will be an opportunity for attendees to network and meet fellow early- and mid-career researchers in the stroke field. 

The ESCS of the SSA is a special interest group aimed at clinicians and scientists who are either undertaking a postgraduate or clinical degree with a focus or interest in stroke research; or are researchers or early career clinicians engaged in stroke research. Since its inception in 2018, this workshop has been run bi-annually as a satellite of the SSA conference, providing an opportunity for budding clinicians and scientists from all disciplines of stroke to engage with their peers and hear from established leaders in the field.

A networking lunch from 12:30-1:30 is included, with sessions commencing at 1:30pm
