This session is an interactive session based on cases brought by yourself - therapists out in the community, hospitals, rehab centres etc. We will be looking at clinical reasoning and multidisciplinary input for children with CP. Two Bobath Tutors will be there to give their advice and input on the cases with ample oportunity to ask questions and add your ideas.

Overview

In this new series of webinars, we invite local therapists to send in cases from their workload that they wish to receive advice, second opinion, or guidance on.

We encourage you to upload photographic material where possible (please provide us with proof of consent from patient or family), so as to enhance the learning experience of all attending. The material will be reviewed by two Bobath Tutors who can answer your clinical questions and guide you on your next step.
