The International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations will host a one-day Allied Professionals Forum in Perth, Australia on 3 December
2019. This seminar, specifically for allied health and social care professionals, is held between the International Alliance Meeting (1-2 December) and the International
Symposium on ALS/MND (4-6 December).
The Allied Professionals Forum is an opportunity for health professionals to share their experiences, knowledge and strategies of caring for people with ALS/MND with their international peers. The aim of this program is to promote the exchange
