Following the decision to postpone our annual conference from November 2020 to July 2021, PMG will host a free webinar on the same day as conference would have started, followed immediately by the Annual General Meeting.  Register here.

2nd NOVEMBER 2020

2pm to 3pm: Remote assessment and prescription

COVID-19 has affected many aspects of our lives, and is changing the way we deliver services. Remote assessment within healthcare is becoming more commonplace, but it can be challenging in mobility and seating services where close patient contact is often essential.

We will explore how services have adopted assessment tools to deliver services in these unprecedented circumstances.

The session will last an hour, and consist of three short presentations followed by 30 minutes of discussion.
