November 2011
Again we have had a busy six months. This has included holding our AGM with an excellent study day on rehabilitation of the upper limb. Mary Lynch-Ellerington presented in the morning including a brilliant patient demonstration, despite the awkward set up in the venue. This was followed in the afternoon by a presentation from Glyn Blakely of Saeboflex including feedback on work in Norway, using it as an aid to function. As to be expected this prompted a lively debate around the different methods of working and how different physiotherapists utilise a variety of different techniques with our client group. Feedback from the day was very positive and shows that as a group of professionals we are all striving to give our clients the best evidence based, client centred treatment that we can.
During the AGM we also recruited a new full member and would like to welcome Veronica Rufus to the committee. We also recruited a number of volunteers from across the region who were keen to help us organise courses in a variety of different venues. One of whom is Ester Lockwood who has since joined the committee and our welcome is extended to her. Whilst Sarah Kelman, our treasurer is back from maternity leave, Nicky Buck, our membership secretary is now off on maternity leave.
Yorkshire committee work hard to provide a wide and interesting variety of courses and are always grateful for any help that we can get. It really is a matter of doing as little or as much as you would like, so if you are interested please contact me.
Other exciting courses we have run recently include a Head and Neck day course by Bobath tutor, Paul Johnson, a day course on Pusher syndrome and on The Foot by Linzi Meadows. We have also run various evening lectures on items such as outcome measures and HIV in neurology, that have been reasonably well attended.
Never ones to rest on our laurels, we have a busy programme being arranged already for next year hopefully including; a movement science day course and repeat of our previously run ataxia course. So please keep an eye out on this page for further details.
Again please feel free to email myself, or the committee if you have any questions, suggestions, or even complaints. We aim to provide a service that is tailored to the needs of physiotherapists in our area.
Look forward to seeing more of you over the coming few months!.

The Yorkshire ACPIN Committee would like to offer evening and day courses at a variety of different venues. It is especially difficult to access venues suitable for practical sessions for week- day courses. Please let a committee member know if you can offer any suitable venues.
Thank you.
