Conferences
TNA UK hold biennial conferences for the benefit of members. In the intervening years, our AGMs feature a guest speaker and either workshops or Q&A sessions where members and their guests can quiz specialists about their condition and the currently available treatments.
First TNA UK Conference, June 2007, Keele University
This two-day conference was a great success and an event which we have repeated, though limiting subsequent conferences to just one day. Here are some of the comments from the Keele conference attendees:
Delegates were asked the following questions, giving scores from 0 to 10:
| How well did the conference fulfil your expectations? | 9.5 |
| Did you find it useful to meet fellow sufferers? | 9.4 |
| Did you find it useful to meet expert doctors? | 9.7 |
| Did attending improve your confidence to deal with your pain? | 8.6 |
And here are some of the comments:
"The best thing about the conference was meeting other sufferers and doctors who are dedicated to helping people with TN."
"Brilliantly organised conference, excellent location."
"The sharing of experiences and the friendships, superb organisation."
"A totally enjoyable and informative conference."
"Seeing how enthusiastic and committed the professionals and surgeons are."
"Realising that I have been suffering for 17 years when I could have been getting more help!"
