Testimonials
- “ESPA is the only conference where every talk or poster is relevant to my daily work on the SCIC. Other conferences are interesting, but this one makes a tangible difference, to my knowledge, to my patient education groups, and to my confidence as a professional in a specialist service. Thank you.”
- “There is nowhere else that the opportunity arises to talk to so many people from across the world, with such a wealth of experience and knowledge, who make you feel part of the group.”
- “• It is a wonderful group of psychologists with a lot of experience in spinal cord injury. The atmosphere is very friendly and the quality of the scientific and clinical work is excellent.”
- “This conference is the only one of its kind, directly relevant to my role as a Clinical Psychologist working in Spinal Injury and my attendance at this conference three years ago has benefited the Spinal Injury Unit in which I work.”
