Wife of adult participant

“NICE has helped to transform B’s life. It has given her the skills and confidence to overcome her disability and, to a large extent, lead a normal life. Few people would now realise that when she left hospital three months ago after her stroke, she was told she would never walk again and would not regain any movement in her right arm.”

This approach complements a range of existing professional approaches in the field of neurological motor disorders. All courses and workshops are aimed at providing a new, innovative approach to people with movement disorders. This approach can enhance current thinking and practice for professionals in wider fields.Courses are suitable for teachers, therapists, nurses, allied healthcare professionals and others working in the field.

In addition to courses and workshops we are also able to provide short lectures and/or presentations to groups of staff.
