The neurology division at Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre has marked a significant professional achievement through its active participation in the prestigious 2025 American Epilepsy Society (AES) Meeting. This premier global gathering, recognized as a leading forum for epilepsy specialists worldwide, facilitated crucial knowledge exchange among clinicians and researchers dedicated to advancing seizure disorder management.
The medical institution deployed a distinguished three-member delegation to the conference: Dr. Gaden Osborne, serving as Neurologist and Chair of Subspecialty Services; Kesha Willock, a credentialed Registered Nurse and EEG Technician; and Dr. Ranisha Hazlewood, a Neurology Registrar. Their attendance provided exposure to cutting-edge developments in diagnostic methodologies, therapeutic interventions, and comprehensive long-term patient care strategies.
Hospital administration emphasized that such international engagement is fundamental to maintaining alignment with evolving global standards and emerging scientific discoveries. The acquired expertise is slated for immediate implementation within Antigua and Barbuda’s healthcare framework, aiming to elevate local epilepsy management protocols and enhance support systems for affected individuals and their families.
This initiative underscores the medical center’s commitment to continuous professional development, positioning it as a strategic investment in public health infrastructure. The translation of newly gained knowledge into clinical practice is expected to yield tangible improvements in patient outcomes, reinforcing the institution’s capacity to deliver specialized neurological services to the Caribbean community.
