PWSA UK National Conference 2021: The Changing Face of PWS

JHorsfall • 3 August 2021

First details of this year's virtual conference announced!

We are delighted to announce that this year’s National Conference takes place on 6th and 7th November. 

Once again, it will be a virtual conference hosted online, but this time it will follow the two-day format of our previous face-to-face events. 

This means that Saturday’s programme will be geared towards under-16s, while Sunday will be aimed at over-16s, with separate workshops on both days.

Both days run from 9.30am to 5pm, with Saturday’s speakers including Dr Robin Chung and Dr Sarah Bernard, while workshops will be run by Chris Smith, Christina Meade, Dr Evelien Gevers, Dr Guftar Shaikh and Dr Anne Livesey.

On Sunday, speakers will include Professor Tony Holland, with workshops hosted by Dr Anne Livesey, Lisa and Karina Carvell, and PWSA UK’s own Ruth Consterdine.

Further information, including details of how you can get tickets, will be made available shortly, but for now please put the above dates in your diary and keep them free.
