It is with great honour and joy that I welcome you to the 46^th Annual Conference of the Society of Indian Neuroscience Nurses (SINNCON 2026), to be held at Ahmedabad from 10^th to 13^th December 2026, along with the 74^th Annual Conference of the Neurological Society of India. This joint academic gathering is a milestone event, offering a vibrant platform for learning, collaboration, and innovation in the field of neuroscience nursing.

Timely interventions and evidence-based care by neuronurses enhance the quality of life not only for patients but also for their caregivers. In this era of rapid scientific and technological progress, it is our responsibility to continually magnify our knowledge and skills. This conference has been thoughtfully designed to help us achieve this goal. It encompasses a wide range of topics and includes plenary sessions, symposiums, workshops, paper and poster presentations, and much more.

We are privileged to welcome national and international experts, advanced nurse practitioners, and distinguished faculty from neurology, neurosurgery, and neuronursing, who will share their insights on recent scientific, clinical, and social advancements. This scientific feast gives platform to empower the clinical nurses in diverse practice areas while strengthening the foundation of evidence-based care.

The preconference workshop focusing on Neuro OT techniques and Interventional Neurosurgery on 9^th Dec at Shalby Multi Specialty Hospital, Ahmedabad will provide hands-on learning opportunities, further enriching the academic experience. Beyond the scientific program, this conference offers an excellent opportunity to meet neuronurses from across India and abroad, to renew old ties, build new friendships, and create collaborative plans that will inspire future innovations in patient care.

The organizing team, with its enthusiasm and dedication, is sparing no effort to ensure meticulous preparations that meet your expectations. I am confident that SINNCON 2026 will prove to be a truly worthy scientific feast, augmenting your knowledge territory and expanding your professional horizons.

I warmly invite you to join us in Ahmedabad this December and make SINNCON 2026 a resounding success.

It gives immense pleasure and honor to welcome you to the 46^th Annual Conference of the Society of Indian Neuroscience Nurses, held in conjunction with the 75^th Annual Conference of the Neurological Society of India, at the vibrant city of Ahmedabad.

Neuroscience nursing is a highly specialized field that demands continuous learning, clinical vigilance, and evidence-based practice. Rapid advancements in neurocritical care, neuromonitoring technologies, stroke management, neurorehabilitation, and minimally invasive neurological interventions have significantly transformed patient care. In this evolving landscape, updating professional knowledge and clinical competencies is essential to ensure safe, timely, and high-quality patient care.

Continuous professional development empowers neuroscience nurses to make informed clinical decisions, recognize early neurological deterioration, prevent complications, and provide holistic patient-centered care. Enhanced knowledge and skill directly influence patient outcomes by improving recovery, reducing morbidity and mortality, shortening hospital stay, and promoting better quality of life for patients and families affected by neurological disorders.

This prestigious gathering brings together distinguished neuroscientists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroscience nurses, academicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals from across the nation and beyond to celebrate excellence, innovation, and collaboration in neurosciences. This conference serves as a valuable platform for sharing scientific advancements, innovative nursing practices, research findings, and multidisciplinary experiences that strengthen neuroscience nursing practice. Through academic discussions, workshops, and collaborative learning, participants will gain insights that can be translated into improved bedside care and better patient outcomes.

I warmly invite you to join us in this grand celebration of knowledge, dedication, and professional unity. Your presence and participation will undoubtedly contribute to the success and spirit of this memorable event.

Looking forward to welcoming you to Ahmedabad for an inspiring and unforgettable academic experience.
