We have had another good year with membership numbers staying high for Kent and therefore our committee has been strongly supported led by Cathy Kelly-Jones, our chairperson.
Our 2008 programme started with the AGM ‘Understanding Neuromuscular Disorders’ which was held in March at Medway Maritime Hospital, Gillingham. We tried a different format this year and started at 3:30pm followed by the AGM. We had a fascinating talk by Dr Michael Rose MD FRCP, consultant and honorary senior lecturer in neurology, Kings College Hospital, London and Joanna Reffin, senior I physiotherapist, Muscle Clinic, also from Kings College Hospital, London.
This was well attended and attracted therapists from other specialities as well as ACPIN members.
Our plans for 2008 include a study day on ‘Managing the post-neurosurgical patient in a district general hospital’ which is scheduled for April and we are planning a ‘Vestibular rehabilitation’ study day in conjunction with our neighbouring Sussex region in June. This will be a practical and theoretical day and give participants a chance to see the posturography equipment at Medway Balance Clinic.
Any ideas from members for future courses are always welcome.
