Migraine Trust International Symposium Patient Day – In Person in Glasgow

About the event

Join us in Glasgow for the Migraine Trust International Symposium Patient Day – a welcoming and supportive event dedicated to people affected by migraine.

Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or have been living with migraine for many years, this day is designed to offer helpful information, support, and the chance to connect with others who understand what you’re going through.

You’ll hear from expert speakers, have opportunities to ask questions, and meet others living with migraine or supporting someone who does. There will be plenty of time to chat, share experiences, and build connections in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Most importantly, it’s a chance to be reminded that you are not alone. We hope the day leaves you feeling informed, supported, and empowered within a community that truly understands.

We really look forward to welcoming you and spending the day together in Glasgow.

• Time and date: 12:00 – 4.00pm, 5 September
• Location: Scottish Event Campus, Glasgow
• Registration fee: The event is free to attend. Book your place here.
