WALES & WEST DUAL-SENSORY CONFERENCE 2010
Thursday 17th June, 2010
Main Hall, University of Newport, Caerleon Campus, Newport, South Wales, NP18 3NT

This unique one-day conference is aimed at anyone involved with dual sensory loss and supporting people with sight and hearing loss, across the public, voluntary and private sector.

This conference will bring professionals together from all sectors working to prevent dual sensory loss and those providing services to people with sight/hearing loss. This conference is a wonderful opportunity to find out about innovative and leading edge research which has been taking place in the UK . It is also an opportunity for professionals from different organisations to meet and share ideas and discuss the future and the way forward.

Our key-note speaker this year will be Professor Andrew Webster, Consultant Ophthalmologist, Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL, speaking on latest research on Usher’s Syndrome and we are extremely lucky to get Dr Dominic ffytche, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London speaking on Charles Bonnet Syndrome (visual hallucinations in sight loss). A full programme will be released in due course.

There will also be an exhibition at lunchtime of technology companies and other organisations in the field of sight loss.

Conference fee : £90 per delegate (including refreshments and lunch)
