Our team, the Coma Science Group (GIGA Consciousness, University and University Hospital of Liege, Belgium), is specialized in the assessment and the care of patients with disorders of consciousness. We use the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) in our daily practice and we regularly train professionals to learn how to use this scale. We have recently developed and validated the Short Evaluation of CONsciousness Disorders (SECONDs), a faster clinical tool to assess patients with disorders of consciousness.

We are pleased to invite you to our second online workshop, designed to provide essential knowledge and clinical training for the CRS-R and the SECONDs.

After 3 editions in Liège, our annual workshop will take place virtually for the second time on Saturday, September 25th. Once again, we will host 2 separate events simultaneously, in French and English language.

We will start with an introduction on theoretical background about consciousness and the available scales for assessing brain-injured patients. Then, we will focus on specific administration and scoring guidelines of both the CRS-R and the SECONDs. These interactive sessions will feature real clinical cases and videos to facilitate questions and discussions between participants and experts.

The attendees will have the opportunity to test their knowledge after the lunch break with case-based video quizzes.

Last year's edition of the workshop gathered over 50 healthcare professionnals and researchers in the field of consciousness ! You don't want to miss it this year, save the date !

Please feel free to contact us for further information (a.barra@uliege.be).

Looking forward to meeting you,

The Coma Science Group team
