Conferences give us an opportunity to share knowledge and experience with each other and highlight the importance of raising the issues families face following childhood acquired brain injury. Each year we chose a relevant topic and design a programme around the theme calling on experts to share their latest findings and strategies with us.
We are proud to be the leading organisation promoting childhood acquired brain injury in this way and as such have developed a huge reputation for hosting successful and memorable events.
To view our forthcoming events, please see below or check our Events Calendar.
