Scoliosis meetings
Every year, we organise meetings in different locations across the UK discussing issues surrounding scoliosis. At these meetings scoliosis specialists give talks and offer advice to attendees. These events also act as a fantastic networking opportunity for people to meet each other and share their stories and information about their experiences with scoliosis.

Infantile scoliosis meeting at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore.
The first scoliosis meeting of this year was held in June at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and was focussed on infantile scoliosis. The meeting was hosted by Mr Hilali Noordeen FRCS who along with a team of scoliosis specialists discussed the causes and diagnosis of infantile, juvenile and congenital scoliosis, treatment options and current research. There were also parents discussing their personal experiences of coping with the condition and opportunities to ask questions and chat with other families. The subjects that were covered included:
- Why has this happened to my child? Causes and diagnosis of infantile/juvenile idiopathic and congenital scoliosis
- What treatment is available?
- Is there any current research that will help?
- Am I doing the right thing? Support and reassurance for parents
- Our scoliosis journey Personal story of scoliosis told by a parent
- How can SAUK help you?
