.
2010 looks like being another active year for Wessex ACPIN and we started the year with an encouragingly oversubscribed thermoplastic splinting course.
The committee remains very stable with just a couple of additions. By the time this is printed we will have lost our chair person Louise Johnson to maternity leave. However, this is only temporary as she will stay on as co-chair with Anna Gould stepping in to help and we are very grateful to both of them for the hard work they put into this role. Stepping back into a familiar role is Mary Vincent who has kindly agreed to the regional rep role as many of you will have noticed from some of your emails.
As you can see we are now advertising all courses on the Wessex page of the ACPIN website. This will hopefully prove a successful means of informing members of forthcoming courses/events. We have also provided links to the Wessex ACPIN bursary guidance and application forms and would encourage members to apply for funding ahead of the May and October deadlines.
A further new initiative this year is the Wessex Spasticity Forum. This developed from the success of last years spasticity conference and is a joint venture between ACPIN and colleagues from the British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine. The plan is to hold bi-annual meetings for all members of the MDT with guest speakers and the opportunity to discuss and share examples of good practice. More information should be coming your way once we have finalised plans for our first meeting.
