The UK Stroke Forum will be in Harrogate this year, 4-6 December 2012.
There is a session on vision, with Fiona Rowe (Liverpool University) talking about visual symptoms after stroke, Alex Leff (Institute of Neurology) talking about web-based therapy for hemianopic alexia (reading difficulty due to hemianopia), and Audrey Bowen (Manchester University) talking about assessment and treatment of unilateral spatial neglect.
Hopefully Alex Leff will also talk about his new web-based therapy, Eye-Search - a description of this will be on this blog very soon. If you can't wait, go to The EYE-SEARCH web site.
The session (Parallel Session 2D) will be held in the Kings Suite from 14:30 to 15:45 on Wed 5th December.
