We warmly invite you to our ‘Health, Happiness and Wellbeing’ conference taking place on the 6th and 7th October 2017 at the Aston Conference Centre in Birmingham. The conference will begin with a research and scientific symposium from 1:30 pm on Friday 6th October and will conclude after an evening of entertainment and celebrations on Saturday 7th October 2017.
The event aims to bring together families, individuals and professionals to learn more about this ultra-rare condition. This is a unique opportunity to hear about pioneering research and clinical developments, take part in interactive workshops and learn from each other’s experiences; as well as meeting up with other families and friends.
We’re delighted that Dr Pietro Maffei from AS Italy and Professor Colin Johnson from the Institute of Molecular Medicine at St James’s University Hospital, have agreed to speak about their current research and clinical developments.
The AS teams from Birmingham Children’s Hospital and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital will also be presenting about clinical developments, the progression of research and clinical trial findings.
