Rachel Wright will support you to develop your communication and co-production skills in order to work alongside families facing complex and often daunting circumstances. Finally, Suzanne Carter will share her extensive two decades long experience of developing a comprehensive paediatric postural care service and the phenomenal impact this has had on the bodies and lives of the children she and her team support.
