Every year, the MAA National Patient Conference brings together people from across Australia who share one common goal: to better understand myasthenia gravis and improve the lives of those affected by it.
This year’s conference features an outstanding line-up of neurologists, researchers, clinicians and patient advocates who are helping shape the future of MG care in Australia.
Whether you’re living with MG, caring for someone who is, or working in healthcare, you’ll hear practical, evidence-based information from experts who are at the forefront of diagnosis, treatment, research and patient support.
Learn From Australia’s Leading Experts
Throughout the day, you’ll hear from an exceptional panel of speakers, each bringing their own area of expertise and experience.
Leading neurologists including A/Prof Stefan Blum, Dr Katherine Buzzard, Dr Shadi El-Wahsh, Dr Laurie McLaughlin and A/Prof Stephen Reddel will share the latest developments in myasthenia gravis diagnosis, treatment and clinical care.
You’ll also hear from Dr Andrew Hunt, whose research into heat and its impact on people living with chronic health conditions is helping improve quality of life for many Australians living with MG.
Adding another unique perspective is Dr Craig Streatfeild, who combines professional expertise with lived experience of myasthenia gravis. His presentation will explore patient education, advocacy and the growing range of resources available to support people living with MG.
Topics That Matter
The conference program has been carefully designed around the issues that matter most to the MG community.
Throughout the day you’ll explore:
• Current and emerging MG therapies
• Clinical trials and the latest research
• Diagnostic advances and new developments in patient care
• Real-world research into heat and workforce participation
• Practical strategies for living well with MG
• Education, advocacy and support available through the MAA
Each presentation has been selected to provide practical knowledge that attendees can take home and apply in everyday life.
Ask Questions That Matter to You
One of the highlights of the conference is the opportunity to participate in a dedicated Q&A session with the expert panel.
This is your chance to ask questions, hear different perspectives and gain greater confidence in understanding both current treatments and future developments in MG care.
Knowledge. Connection. Community.
The MAA National Patient Conference isn’t just about presentations.
It’s about bringing together people who are passionate about improving outcomes for everyone affected by myasthenia gravis.
You’ll leave with new knowledge, greater confidence and valuable connections with people who understand the journey.
