The Hopkins symposium honours Dr Ian Hopkins, the first trained paediatric neurologist in Australia and founder of the symposium.  The symposium has been run annually since 1979. It is designed primarily for general paediatricians, and aims to cover practical topics in paediatric neurology. It is held on the first Wednesday of March each year at the Royal Children's Hospital, usually from 12:00 pm until 5:00 pm.

2025 Hopkins symposium

The 2025 Hopkins Symposium will be on 5th March 2025, commencing with Grand Rounds at 12.30 pm titled “From Trials to Treatment: the transition of precision medicine into clinical practice.”  The symposium will then continue into the afternoon and finish no later than 5 pm. The full 2025 program will be available in February.

In 2025, we will be returning to traditional face-to-face format.   There is no registration fee, but attendees will need to register and indicate any dietary requirements for afternoon tea.

If you are from a regional centre, please reach out and we’ll discuss options to connect like in pre-COVID years.
