Exciting topics in Stroke Rehab

Hear from, and speak with, some of the capital’s most distinguished researchers and practitioners in the areas of brain repair and rehabilitation! 

ARNI RSM Conference: 28th & 31st May 2012

Please firstly forgive us if you have been sent this in error: it has been sent only to those who opened the email regarding the new publication ‘Successful Stroke Survivor’ by Tom Balchin in December 2011. With the concentration on fulfilling this 4 year project, the ARNI Trust missed out being able to celebrate its Decade Year.
  • ARNI friends and colleagues, stroke survivors and instructors are invited to an exclusive two-day Lecture Series at the prestigious Royal Society of Medicine on 28th May and 31st May 2012.
  • The Conference theme is Rehabilitation from Stroke. As such it seeks to cover as many of the major issues of concern across the stroke care pathway as possible. We will discuss cutting-edge solutions and look at the impact of ARNI over the last ten years. 
  • Come for either both days or just one, but please be aware that places are very limited. We have just forty five places as yet unallocated. Registration is on first come, first served basis. We are really looking forward to seeing you, so please apply immediately.
