The inaugural Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) Symposium is the first meeting for health clinicians with an interest in learning about FND. What started as a small team of clinicians from the FND clinic in Brisbane has grown into a community dedicated to educating others about the diagnosis, treatment, and management of FND.

The symposium will feature guest speakers from Queensland Health and national health centres to talk about their knowledge, experiences, and research on FND. Through this symposium we hope to empower more clinicians around Queensland to help treat and manage patients with this common disorder.
