Last weekend we held our biggest OMS event to date. Over 350 people attended our one day conference in Edinburgh, Scotland. Professor Jelinek took to the stage alongside alongside Professor Craig Hassed, Dr Sandra Neate, Dr Jonathan White, Dr Arie Gafson, Dr Stuart White, Dr Rachael Hunter and Sam Josephs.
The theme of the day was Recovering from MS - wishful thinking or realistic optimism?
The keynote speaker and lead facilitator for the day was Professor George Jelinek, author of Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis: the evidence-based 7 step recovery program.
We also welcomed one of the world's leading authorities on mind-body medicine, Associate Professor Dr Craig Hassed from Monash University, Melbourne
Topics included:
- Promoting resilience - looking after your mental health
