South West Interest in Muscles (SWIM) Conference

The SW Neuromuscular ODN deliver a SWIM Conference twice a year.  The Conference is open to clinicians and allied healthcare professionals who have an interest in neuromuscular conditions.  It's a great opportunity to network with colleagues in other specialties and organisations in the South West.  The conference is usually themed around neuromuscular conditions or focusing on points in the patients care pathway across other related specialties.  

If you would like to be notified of details of future SWIM conferences, please contact the SWNODN Neuromuscular Office by email (swneuromuscularodn@nbt.nhs.uk) and request to be added to our mailing list.
