Glasgow is getting set to host the 13th World Down Syndrome Congress, a global event attended by over 1200 health care professionals, clinicians, academics, education professionals and families and people with Down’s syndrome. Hosted by Down’s Syndrome Scotland on behalf of Down Syndrome International (DSi), the Congress takes place at the Glasgow SEC’s Scottish Event Campus between 25th-27th July.
Held every two years at different locations across the world, Congress offers a unique environment for health professionals to share experiences, best practice and learnings through a detailed programme of oral presentations, practice workshops and Meet the Expert sessions.
