May 2011
We have had another very successful year with our numbers remaining high and a very strong committee which has been led by Cathy Kelly Jones. It is with our thanks we must send our gratitude to Cathy for her commitment as this is her last year standing as our chair, but thankfully for us she is remaining on the committee.
Our programme in 2010/11 continued 2 really success full study days. The first was in June with a lower limb study reviewing the evidence and adjuncts to treatment, such as the Wii Fit, outcome measures, and the ever popular Orthotics with a brilliant talk from Paul Charlton. Our thanks must be sent to Paul and the local Clinical Specialist Physiotherapists in the region for offering their support and services.
The second study day was hosted at Darent Valley Hospital in November; it looked at the Use of the Vibrosphere/G4CE plate. It was very well attended and thoroughly enjoyed by all and our thanks must be extended to Eva Leach for a really exciting course and well recommended to other regions.
On the 22nd March we will host our AGM at The Wisdom Hospice, Rochester, with a talk from Dr David Oliver on End of life care in long term neurological conditions. Dr Oliver has recently presented at The International Symposium for MND/ALS in Orlando USA, so the committee are really excited that he has agreed to assist in developing our skills in this important area.
Future courses in the planning are Infections in the central nervous system and Implications of Neuro physiotherapy in Immunology, and an MS Study in collaboration with the MS Trust.
As the region covers a large geographical area, we as a committee are always keen to hear from members that wish to join us. It is very sociable as well as being a good time to network and discuss changes that are occurring in the ever changing NHS and private sectors. We are always also looking for members to send us ideas for future courses and evening lectures. Please do not hesitate to contact either myself or anyone on the committee on the links below, we look forward to hearing from you
