Gliolan® training
Before using Gliolan®, neurosurgeons must attend a training course to inform them how to use the medicine safely and effectively during
surgery as required by the EMA. These are held in the following UK locations:
- Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge
(Mr Stephen Price & Mr Thomas Santarius) - King’s College Hospital, London
(Prof Keyoumars Ashkan & Mr Ranj Bhangoo) - Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham
(Prof Colin Watts & Mr Ismail Ughratdar) - Salford Royal Hospital, Salford
(Miss Konstantina Karabatsou & Mr Pietro D’urso)
English speaking courses are also available in Europe.
Courses consist of lectures as well as a sit in during a live fluorescence guided surgery. Participants will receive a handout and an official
certificate. The training follows the regulation of European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the safe and effective use of gliolan.
Upcoming training courses
Current restrictions have temporarily stopped Gliolan® training courses in hospitals. However, there are virtual courses available so that Neurosurgeons can get authorisation to use Gliolan® under exceptional COVID-19 flexibilities. There are 10 spaces available on each course.
