Hi there,
It is our pleasure to invite you to the UK Tetrahand Meeting on Monday 5th and Tuesday 6th June 2023, at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Aylesbury, UK.
This free 2-day event is aimed at rehabilitation doctors, therapists, and surgeons. The first day will focus on reconstructive surgery for the upper limb in tetraplegia and the second day on spasticity.
The aim of the event is to raise awareness of surgical options for tetraplegia, and to remove some of the barriers to this surgery in the UK.
