NI ACPIN continues to be a dynamic and stimulating group with a good membership base from around the province. A huge thank you must go out to our retiring committee members, Siobhan MacAuley (retiring Chair) and Maire Kerr (retiring Treasurer) for their hard work and enthusiasm over a number of years. Congratulations to one of our ‘career break committee members’, Jane McKeown, on the birth of her son. By the time this goes to press, we hope to have recruited to our committee; however, interest in joining us at any time of the year is always gratefully received!
And now to business! Our 2007/ 2008 programme continues to be well attended, with monthly lectures on a variety of topics, including the management of chronic pain and a very informative evening spent in our local gait laboratory. Our AGM and review of Spasticity and Botulinum Toxin, followed by light workshops on driving and disability, gym ball activity and Parkinson’s disease complete the programme.
NI ACPIN has funded a place for both our regional representative and another member to attend the ACPIN national acquired brain injury conference. As a committee, we continue to assess the budget and attempt to provide assistance through the running of reduced price courses or assisting with funding where applicable.
Finally, we are beginning to collate ideas for the 2008/09 programme, both for the format and titles/speakers. Any ideas are always received with great delight! Many thanks for another good year, enjoy the summer break and we look forward to seeing you in September.
