November 2011
Manchester has enjoyed a successful 2011 with bimonthly evening lectures and a study day that was well received by our members.
We decided not to put a lecture on in January this year and instead our programme commenced in March with the AGM and a patient demonstration by Bobath tutor, Linzi Meadows. As always this was a thought provoking and interesting evening that was well attended.
At the AGM we welcomed Dani Morby to the committee, which has retained much the same line up as 2010. We currently have Claire Robinson (chair); Anna Ziemer (secretary); Helen Dawson (treasurer); Stuart McDarby (regional rep) and Lorraine Azam (national executive committee), as well as Dani.
In May we held a Saturday morning study workshop on the shoulder that was well attended. This built on an evening lecture from 2010 and involved MSK techniques with the neurological shoulder. Both the format and content received very positive feedback and we are planning to run similar events in future.
July saw a familiar face in July Rigby, our former chair, providing a lecture around her Phd work on The experience of care home staff with stroke patients. This was held at Trafford General and led to some interesting discussion.
In September we had an evening lecture on Ataxia by Anita Watson (lecturer in Physiotherapy at the University of Salford.
In November we are holding an evening lecture on Urology in Neurology - full details will follow closer to the time.
As always we look to provide an interesting and stimulating programme that will appeal to staff working across the neurology spectrum. We are always grateful for ideas regarding possible speakers, topics and venues and welcome members contacting us at any time. We continue to try to use venues across the region and we are always thankful for the support received. ACPIN members from Cheshire and Lancashire (as well as other regions of course!) are always welcome and we would encourage you to contact us if you do not receive emails.
The Manchester committee is currently putting together the programme for 2012, so keep an eye open for e mails and flyers!
