As part of the ACPIN Conference 2026, ACPIN will also be five running workshops on Wednesday 13 May in the afternoon. You can choose to either attend the workshops (choice of two) and two day conference or just the two day conference (14th and 15th May).
ACPIN will be hosting the following workshops:
Clinical Reasoning and Symptom Formulation in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
This workshop uses clinical vignettes and video case studies to extend participants’ foundational understanding of FND. Through interactive discussion, participants will develop skills in collaborative symptom formulation, patient education, and developing multicomponent treatment plans for patients with complex symptoms.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating factors relevant to individuals with FND; and consider how these may impact treatment.
- Develop a collaborative symptom formulation with a patient, recognising the roles of different members of the multidisciplinary team.
- Apply a symptom formulation to plan, deliver, and adapt physiotherapy rehabilitation, including strategies that support patient self-management.

- Explain the basic anatomy and pathophysiology of SCI and how this relates to prognosis
- Identify and describe acute management strategies for SCI, including respiratory care, initial mobilisation, maintenance routine, contracture management
