Naples hosts the first congress of the Fondazione Lennox-Gastaut ETS on 6 and 7 November 2026 at the Hotel Palazzo Alabardieri, Via Alabardieri 38.
The central theme is "Continuità assistenziale tra ospedale e territorio" — continuity of care between hospital and local health services. The event is listed by Il Mattino with an opening on the morning of 6 November, while the official program and the Italian League Against Epilepsy (LICE) confirm a two-day meeting across 6 and 7 November.
A congress focused on continuity of care
The choice of continuity between hospital and territory as the central theme places the congress on the organizational side of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome: how patients are followed over time and across different parts of the health system.
According to the program, the agenda covers epileptic seizures, the burden of care, the transition from childhood to adulthood, management within the health system, and support for caregivers.
Day one: seizures, care burden and transition to adulthood
The first part of the program addresses seizures and the burden of care, alongside the transition from pediatric to adult age.
It also covers management within the health system and support for caregivers, two issues directly linked to the congress theme of continuity between hospital and territory.
Day two: clinical and therapeutic aspects
The second day is dedicated to clinical and therapeutic aspects of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
Listed topics include genetics, psychiatric comorbidities, drug therapy, neuromodulation, and diets and dietetic products.
Who will take part
Participants include institutional representatives, professionals from the University Federico II, and health-sector workers. An address by the Minister for Disabilities, Alessandra Locatelli, is also expected.
