November 2011
There have been a few changes to the East Anglia ACPIN committee this year; after stepping down from the National committee and her role as Synapse Editor, Louise Dunthorne was elected as the new chair for the region at our AGM in May. Paul Chapman has also joined the committee. Membership numbers are just shy of 150 members; record levels for the region.
In 2011 the committee has organised fou study days and afternoons, the most recent being a Pusher Syndrome Study day at Ipswich Hospital, run by Gemma Alder. Thanks to the support from the members - our 2011 courses have been very successful and many oversubscribed. East Anglia ACPIN has continued to heavily subsidise courses to enable them to be accessible to members with limited access to course funding from employers. We hope to continue to subsidise courses in 2012.
At the time of writing, the 2012 course programme is in skeleton format, but ideas include:
• Exploring, accessing and treating cognitive impairments
• Locomotion – two day Bobath course
• Orthotics and spasticity
• Complementary therapies
Towards the end of this year we have planned to send a questionnaire to East Anglia ACPIN members to survey the membership on your needs for future courses. We really value your input into the course programme, so if you have any innovative course ideas or know of interesting speakers we would love to hear from you. We look forward to seeing you at our courses again in 2012.
If you have any queries or any course ideas please feel free to contact me;
