Throughout the day there will be plenty of opportunities to chat to our speakers, trustees and officers, as well as other sufferers and supporters. Back by popular demand will be a targeted set of group discussions on various topics that affect sufferers; this is a chance to question the OUCH (UK) team and each other about treatments and employment support, as well as more general questions.

A light sandwich lunch and morning and afternoon refreshments will be provided. 

Please note that the conference will be a nut-free zone as some conference attendees have nut allergies.
