Annual Conference

Details:

*** STOP PRESS *** Expert update on MND research confirmed: Paul Ince, Professor of Neuropathology at Sheffield University Medical School confirmed as keynote research speaker ***

Prof Ince is amongst a line-up of speakers and workshop sessions aimed to update people on the latest developments in care and research, while also giving practical support and advice to people living with MND and those who care for them.

The Annual Conference is the one time in the year when we come together as an Association to renew acquaintances and make new friends, while also finding out the latest developments and news from the Association. There are practical tips on improving quality of life, and on how to get the most out of being part of the Association.

Stay for dinner and cabaret, as Mark Shortland, award winning magician, amazes and amuses with his table magic and after-dinner show.

We encourage people with MND and their carers to attend the Annual Conference, and we also look forward to welcoming many of our Branch and Group volunteers.
