Mission Statement
‘West Midlands ACPIN is committed to organising a comprehensive range of CPD and educational events for its members across the region. In order to provide this education we aim to draw on the network of specialist services present within our locality, including University Hospitals Birmingham, a world-renowned teaching trust, and a range of community services supporting our large and diverse population. We provide networking opportunities, sharing of good practice and promote the specialism of neurological physiotherapy to other professionals, allied groups, service users and students. We aim to support events linking research and clinical practice. Our grants have supported members financially in study and research as well as giving opportunities for them to feed back and promote their work. We are always interested to hear ideas from our members about courses they would like us to host as well as alternative venues across the region. We strive to keep educational events subsidised for members whilst also promoting ACPIN’s work to students and non-members. ‘
