Arthritis Conference: October 20 & 21


I dropped off the brochures and posters for the upcoming Arthritis Society dinner & conference this morning - so those should be floating around the city very soon.

As previously mentioned...

Friday night is a dinner with guest speaker Dr. Hani El-Gabalawy (a great, funny guy who heads up rheumatology research in Manitoba) - tickets are $15.

Saturday is the conference, from 08.30 til 15.00 - registration is $30. We have some great speakers booked who will present on these topics:
- Nutrition: Sustaining Choices for a Healthier Future
- Winning the Medication Game
- The Real Benefits of Exercise
- How Disease Affects my Relationships
- Working with your Family Doctor
- The Invisible Disability: Living with Chronic Pain
- News on Lupus, Scleroderma, Fibromyalgia, and more
- Joint Replacement and the Obesity Impact
- Naturopathy 101

This year, we're trying out a unique format that splits the presenters into three main session groups. At each session, all attendees will hear a 20-minute presentation from each of three presenters. After that, you'll choose a breakout session with one of those presenters, where you'll be able to interact and ask questions.

You can register online at www.arthritis.ca/manitoba/movingbeyond.
