Linda de Meirleir (1954-2018)

It is with utmost sadness that I announce our much loved EPNS Board member, esteemed colleague and friend, Linda de Meirleir, passed away on the morning of 31 October 2018 after a brave battle with illness. There are few words to express the enormity of this loss. We are all deeply shocked and would like to offer our sincerest sympathy to Linda’s family, colleagues and friends. Linda made immense contributions to the EPNS and her legacy will live on. Her intellect, humour, thoughtfulness and caring spirit will be greatly missed.

Sameer Zuberi, EPNS President

With the kind blessing of Ingrid Tein, I share this beautifully written tribute https://icnapedia.org/s/linda

Education & Training

The EPNS has a programme of training courses to offer fellows and (young) paediatric neurologists the opportunity to learn paediatric neurology at a level prescribed by the Syllabus of the EPNS, to meet experts in the field and to exchange knowledge and personal experience. These are two-day courses at a location that can be easily reached at a relatively low cost. There will be a written examination at the end of the course. Because of the interactive character of the course, there is an upper limit of around 75 participants.
