About this Event
Muscular Dystrophy UK are excited to announce the return of our in-person Neuromuscular Care Advisor Conference. The 2022 edition will take place at thestudio..., at the absolute heart of Birmingham city centre. We will be welcoming over 50 neuromuscular care advisors and nurses from across the country, to come together for this psychological upskilling event.
The conference will provide insight into the psychological impact of living with a neuromuscular condition and provide you with the tools to better support these patients.
