As the summer fades (!) and the nights draw in, fear not, for NI ACPIN has an exciting programme to keep you wide awake until spring!! We have welcomed a couple of new faces to our committee, bringing enthusiasm and fresh ideas, not to mention youth!

We have kicked off our new year with our annual review of Neurological assessment and an update on the National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Care. These lectures will be followed in November by an equipment night, taking the form of an information exchange on a variety of pieces of equipment used around the country. Following our Christmas break, an evening focusing on Spasticity, Botulinum Toxin and Injection management will be held. Our AGM will, this year, be supported by a workshop on Cerebellar rehabilitation. The spring programme comprises of information evenings on what services are available through the intermediate care and voluntary sectors. We are hoping to round off the year and get trim for a blazing bikini summer with a Pilates workshop!
