Report on the Allied Professionals Forum (APF), Dublin 2016
Each year the Allied Professionals Forum (APF) is held the day before the ALS/MND International Symposium. The APF is for allied health professionals from across the globe to come together to share, hear and reflect on how to better support people living with MND at the practical level. In December 2016 there were 16 presentations and over 250 attendees. Gina Svolos, Manager Support Services, and Kristina Dodds, Education and Carer Support Program Coordinator, were very fortunate to be able to attend and represent MND NSW. Kristina was one of the presenters and here is their report.
The first session of the day covered the latest innovations on message and voice banking for people with MND and communication technology.
