“We were delighted to welcome back Professor Barbara A Wilson OBE, who spoke at our Annual Lecture last year. She is such an eminent specialist in this field and was the perfect speaker for the event which was extremely well attended as a result. I was particularly pleased to see the range of people who attended the event – from Neuro-surgeons to care workers and lawyers to occupational therapists – and taking away valuable advice and information.”
