PROGRAMME
12 CPD points

This year's conference brings together an international selection of presentations with wide experience in the field. Contributions from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines will help to consolidate a wide spectrum of viewpoints and provide a unique opportunity for coherent dialogue.

You will see from the programme that the workshop has been roughly divided into four sections
and there has been an attempt to fit the free papers around these themes:
i. Thursday morning we will address general issues
ii. Thursday afternoon emphasis is more towards function
iii. Friday morning we will consider psychological aspects
iv. Friday afternoon there is slightly more patient and carer focus
