You’re invited to learn about the many wonders and marvels of the human brain during Brain Awareness Month. By donating to the Neurological Foundation, you can become an advocate for the research these scientists and clinicians are undertaking, and we would like to invite you to attend a presentation in Auckland by Professor Werner Hacke, a visiting stroke specialist and critical care neurologist from Germany.

Professor Hacke’s main scientific and clinical interests are in stroke and critical care neurology. He has pioneered the field of hyper-acute stroke management including hyper-acute stroke units, critical care of stroke, recanalizing therapies including intravenous thrombolysis (IVT or clot-busting drugs) and initiated several new management options for life threatening infections including decompressive surgery. Professor Hacke will give a presentation on his research on hyper-acute stroke management and other initiatives he is undertaking globally for the treatment of stroke.

There will be a mix and mingle with refreshments prior to the event from 5.30 - 6.30 pm.

The event will begin promptly at 6.30 with a 45 minute presentation and concluding with an opportunity for audience members to ask questions after the presentation.

Parking is available on surrounding streets and in public car parks around the Auckland University of Technology.

Tickets are free, but registration is required to ensure you reserve a seat.
