Engaging with the BPNA Annual Conference 2026

In 2026, TANGO2UK engaged with the British Paediatric Neurology Association (BPNA) Annual Conference, a key event in the paediatric neurology calendar. Held as a hybrid event in Glasgow and online, the three-day conference brought together clinicians, researchers, and professionals from across the UK and internationally . The conference provides an important platform for sharing the latest research, clinical developments, and innovations in child neurology. Through keynote lectures, research presentations, and specialist sessions, it supports the advancement of knowledge and collaboration across the field . Why This Matters for TANGO2UK Engagement with the BPNA Conference is an important opportunity for TANGO2UK to: • Stay informed on emerging research and clinical practice relevant to TANGO2 • Build relationships with clinicians and researchers working across rare neurological and metabolic conditions • Raise awareness of TANGO2 deficiency within the wider paediatric neurology community • Ensure the patient and family voice is represented in professional and academic spaces For rare conditions, visibility within clinical and research communities is critical. Conferences such as BPNA provide a valuable opportunity to strengthen connections, share lived experience and help shape future research priorities. Looking Ahead Continued engagement with forums like BPNA will remain a priority as we work to: • Strengthen partnerships with clinicians and research networks • Support research that reflects the needs of our community • Increase awareness and understanding of TANGO2 across healthcare settings This work aligns closely with our wider commitment to collaboration, advocacy, and research progression.
