November 2011
Mersey ACPIN has gone through several changes of committee members this last year, babies seem to be the main cause of this! Earlier in January 2011 our Regional Rep Laura left and I took over, as Regional Rep. Membership is the highest it has been for some time at 54 members.
As a group we have hosted courses covering:
• Neck and Head Treatment by Clare Fraser BBTA tutor, a challenging and very informative course with lots of clinical relevance and a good level of neuroscience.
• Vision and Balance Course was well attended and clinically was very useful in helping to structure more informed treatment plan.
• A different format was used to our more recent courses/lectures when we hosted a Patient Workshop led by Sharon Williams this was a half day, it was well attended got lots of positive feedback especially considering the current climate when teaching with patients in the clinical environment is much more difficult.
• Our AGM was held as part of an evening workshop on the Gym Ball, the practical hosted by Maureen Moss was well attended and had good reports.
Evening lectures have covered Post Polio, Management of Spinal Injuries, Devits Disease. There has been mixed attendance to these but all who have attended lectures have given very enthusiastic reviews.
We are also working with Yorkshire and Manchester ACPIN to jointly host a day course by Ann Shumway-Cooke next year, so keep a look out for this very sort after course!
All details of lectures and course will be e mailed to members and will also appear on the ACPIN website when dates are confirmed.
Remember Mersey members to please consider supplementing any case reports, MSc papers or any other interesting pieces for publication in Synapse!
