May 2011

We have already had two exciting events this year. Dr Rebecca Palmer spoke to us about Cortex, Classification,Compensation and Communication. It was very interesting to identify different traits in communication problems and look at strategies around managing them in relation to physiotherapy. We then held a technology day in conjunction with CSP network and local branch which was popular and introduced technologies currently being developed, the research aspects and then went onto look at what is available now. We had interesting talks from people who commission technology which hopefully got everyone thinking about how we can move forward in what is fastly becoming a big priority in healthcare.

Over the next year we will be running courses on:

• neuroanatomy

• legal and capacity issues

• latest developments in Parkinsons Disease and research

• practical tutoring sessions

• a joint podiatry evening course looking at biomechanics and how these can be corrected

We also have a one day vestibular course planned in September.

Hopefully this is an exciting programme. If anyone has anything they would like to see in our region, as always, please let us know - we do still have a couple of gaps in this year's programme.

We have space on the committee for new members if anyone is interested in joining us or wants a chat what it's all about, let us know.

We look forward to seeing you at our next events.
