Wessex Hand Club – Meeting March 2010
The Wessex Rehabilitation Centre hosted a neoprene splinting study day on 22nd March. The course was very successful and well received by all the participants, who all laughed and learnt a lot! Our special thanks go to Alexa Crook and Catherine Whitmarsh who were the tutors on the day. We would also wish to thank Promedics who gave us considerable support in the loan of equipment.
Our next meeting on 23rd July will focus on managing pain and is free.

As the therapy representative for the Wessex Hand Club, I am aware that we are moving into difficult financial times where there will be problems in accessing both funding and study leave for training. I will try to support the Wessex Hand Therapists in facilitating day courses where we can share our skills and provide training opportunities to develop each other. I would be pleased to hear from any of the Wessex Hand Club members about training opportunities they would like or skills that they could share.
The Wessex Hand Club is open to both BAHT and non-BAHT members. There is no cost to join - however, all communication is via email. If you would like any further information, please contact me on carole.bexon@salisbury.nhs.uk
