8th Singapore International Neuro-Cognitive Symposium

The 8th Singapore International Neuro-Cognitive Symposium was held from 27–29 August 2026 at Academia, Singapore General Hospital Campus. The National Nursing Academy page now marks the event archived and identifies the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) as organiser. It describes the symposium as bringing together international, regional and local experts on developments in diagnosing and treating neurocognitive disorders (National Nursing Academy, updated 4 September 2026). This is a professional conference and educational event, not a new national diagnostic rule or a substitute for an individual medical assessment.

Programme, organiser and professional credit

The symposium is organised together with the Memory and Cognitive Disorders SingHealth Duke-NUS Disease Centre. The published description says that geriatricians, psychiatrists, neurologists and allied-health partners will participate across the neurocognitive spectrum, making the event a professional forum for cross-disciplinary exchange rather than a public screening service. The page identifies it as an educational conference, directs registration enquiries to NNI, and lists eligibility for up to 12 CPE points (National Nursing Academy, accessed 12 September 2026). CPE eligibility is a professional-recognition detail; it does not mean that every attendee receives the maximum points or that attendance confers a clinical qualification.

Schedule, fees and registration status

The main conference was held on 28–29 August 2026, with pre-conference workshops on 27 August 2026. The archived page lists early-bird fees of S$350 for physicians and researchers and S$250 for trainees, students, nurses, allied-health professionals and other medical professionals. It lists normal or walk-in fees of S$400 and S$300 respectively; pre-conference workshops are listed at S$100 for all categories. Registration commenced in March 2026, and walk-in registration was available on site for the main conference (National Nursing Academy, updated 4 September 2026). The page now labels the event archived, so these are historical published event fees and registration arrangements, not healthcare treatment prices or evidence that registration remains open.

Professional education and clinical boundary

The event page records eligibility for up to 12 CPE points and lists participation by geriatricians, psychiatrists, neurologists and allied-health partners. “Up to” is important: the page does not establish that every attendee received 12 points, nor that attendance confers specialist registration, a clinical qualification or authority to diagnose. The symposium's subject matter can inform professional learning and collaboration across the neurocognitive spectrum, but the event is not a Ministry of Health treatment guideline, reimbursement rule or national screening programme. Individual diagnosis and treatment remain matters for appropriately qualified healthcare professionals and current clinical guidance (National Nursing Academy, updated 4 September 2026).
