The Yorkshire ACPIN programme had been very well supported over the last few months by members and non members. People from a number of disciplines attended the evening talk I gave in October ‘Managing people with severe neuro-disability in the community’.
In November Denise Ross gave a very interesting talk describing an innovative and exciting approach to physiotherapy stroke assessment being developed in some Leeds Hospitals. In early December it was good to welcome back Debbie Neil to talk to us about her role as a consultant physiotherapist and ‘Enabling self-management’.
On February 23rd Mary Lynch-Ellerington led a study day on ‘Functional recovery of the hand’.
On 13th of March Professor Bhakta, Sophie Makeover and Jane Savage gave a talk on ‘The development of an intelligent robotic system to aid physiotherapy in stroke’. The AGM will be on 19th April combined with a day course related to gait. Sarah Daniels will be leading a workshop, and an orthotist will be presenting some research he has done related to the use of ankle foot orthotics.
Other events in the pipeline include Dr Duffy talking on ‘Dystonia’ and Dr Amanda Stroud on ‘Practical strategies for behaviour management’. Debbie Strang on August 15th will be leading a day course on ‘The shoulder’ and Janice Champion on 25th September will be the tutor for a course with special emphasis on handling during assessment and treatment in the context of the hospital setting.
