Taking place in London at the Business Design
Centre on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 September 2008, these conferences are
designed specifically to meet the educational needs of primary
care staff such as community nurses, health visitors, practice and school
nurses. The programme features an impressive collection of speakers
delivering highly topical and relevant presentations.
Trustees Betty Farron and Jean Turner together with Norman Farron, a former FMA UK MAB member, will be providing an awareness stand, distributing information and booklets, and establishing contacts within this important primary care community. Betty, as a former community nursing sister is particularly looking forward to this event. Past experience has shown that this information is extremely popular among medical professionals who have swamped our stand, so it looks like a busy two days.
We will be handing out information packs on fibromyalgia, and establishing contacts within this important primary care community.

If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
