Supporting Individuals with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
Wednesday 21 January, 1pm, Microsoft Teams
Join A1 Risk Solutions for an insightful and practical webinar led by Ciara Duffy, an experienced OT who runs her own independent practice Enable OT NI and has supported many individuals living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
