Abstract
On 12th September, Ataxia UK hosted its first networking event for UK-based researchers in London. We were excited to welcome almost 50 attendees, including researchers, clinicians, Ataxia UK representatives and two people with ataxia. Representatives from research teams across the UK attended, including the three Ataxia centres in London, Sheffield, and Oxford. We invited participants to present research on a range of ataxias, and share information, resources, and expertise to foster collaboration.
The event sparked discussion on collaboration between physiotherapists and healthcare professionals supporting ataxia patients. Dr Lisa Bunn, University of Plymouth, shared her team’s success with the ‘A-team’ forum in partnership with the Cosmic Kids Yoga YouTube channel, sharing physiotherapy exercises for children with Ataxia Telangiectasia in a fun and engaging way.
