A Message from Dr Dean Watson PhD - Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist: The Watson Headache® International Online Symposium (replacing the 2nd Watson Headache® International Headache Symposium in Rome, May 29-30, 2020) was launched on 26th June 2020 and ran for three days online. There is a further one month's access pass to view presentations at one's convenience and leisure. This has been made possible because of the enthusiastic support from:-
1. those Expressed Interest in the new Online Symposium format (a big thank you); 2. the speakers engaged to present at the offline Symposium in Rome and to whom I wish to extend my sincere appreciation for preparedness to move online with us: Professor Roby Di Lorenzo, Professor Gianluca Coppola, Mr Mark Jones, Dr Matteo Castaldo, Dr Riccardo Rosa, Mr Romain Giop, Ms Hedwig van der Meer, Ms Claudia Clerici, Mr Fernando Ruiz, Dr Julie Walters, Ms Trina Morris, Mr Roger O’Toole, Ms Helen Tufui, Mr Rob Wallis and 3. the new speakers: Professor Tamar Pincus and Dr Roger Kerry who have agreed to present in this new online format.
4. Simone Scaglioni, Claudia Clerici, and the ManualMente team, to whom I would also like to express my gratitude for their ongoing, indispensable collaborative involvement in the Watson Headache® Institute’s symposia.
What a line-up and I hope you can join us before we close registrations on the 31st July with a further week to view presentations until 7th August 2020.
Cheers Dean
