November 2011
South West ACPIN has had a busy year with many successful events and a growing committee. A Devon subgroup has now formed and their first event was held in October with an update on the latest findings on human anatomy. The Devon subgroup plans to organise further evening lectures and courses so making courses more accessible to all our members.
Jakko Brouwers is also taking on forming a separate Wales ACPIN region which we hope to be in place by the end of the year with a committee. We will continue to link with them with course planning but we wish them every success with this new venture once finalised. They held their second event in July which was a practical course on the Pusher syndrome.
South West ACPIN events continue to be well attended with courses and evening lectures on Evidence based Physiotherapy in Huntingdon’s Disease, a summer social exploring the assessment and management of the shoulder. We are currently continuing to plan our course programme for 2011-2012 but we hope to be running a Multiple Sclerosis course alongside the Multiple Sclerosis Trust in early 2012, Neuropilates in Devon and other exciting events to be confirmed. Courses will be continued to be advertised on this page, interactive CSP and via email to our members. Places for courses will only be confirmed once a completed application form and payment has been received by the course organiser.
In 2011 we have launched a new initiative for South West ACPIN members to potentially access course funding twice a year to enhance the individual’s physiotherapy skills in managing neurological patients. Further details of this new initiative including the policy and application form are available on our regional page on the ACPIN website. We will review this at the end of 2011 but we hope our members take advantage of this potential source of funding to attend courses and conferences.
Finally thanks to Lizzy Shaw who has been the chairperson for the South West over the last few years who is sadly stepping down from the committee. Lizzy has worked very hard for the region organising events and the committee so we thank her for all her hard work and enthusiasm. As ever we would welcome more committee members wherever you may be in the South West.
Please get in touch with us if you wish to find out more information about being on the committee as we always welcome new members, or ideas/suggestions for future courses
