A great opportunity for a fine dinner at a fascinating historical venue with UK and French colleagues.  This heavily subsidised dinner is exceptional value and follows the first day of our BPNS SFNP meeting.  Don't forget to login to our website before booking if you are a member.  Ordinary members are paying the same as guest members so as not to charge more for our French guests.  French trainees should contact SFNP honorary secretary Dr Marion Masingue to request the cheaper rates available to our associate members.

Cost for members and non-members alike is £50 for the dinner, or £25 for associate members and French trainees (who do not have to become members).  Due to PayPal changes, our usual payment system through the website doesn't work, so instead sign up for the dinner through the website 'for free' and then pay separately through PayPal, either by searching for aisling.carr@nhs.net through PayPal or more simply by typing PayPal.me/bpns22 into your web browser: you will then be asked to log in or sign up to PayPal before being asked to set the amount to pay Aisling Carr, our treasurer.  If you do not have a PayPal account and do not wish to sign up, you can email aisling.carr@nhs.net and bring a checkbook when you attend the meeting.

 

Registration details will be announced shortly.

New UK Charity for Peripheral Neuropathy

The BPNS wish to facilitate setup of a new charity for peripheral neuropathy in the UK.  There is no charity or association in the UK which supports people with all the many causes of peripheral neuropathy.  Only a few specific causes of neuropathy have a UK charity, such as CMT-UK, GAIN and Diabetes UK.  There is no UK charity to support idiopathic neuropathy, painful small fibre neuropathy (except general pain charities), brachial neuritis, carpal tunnel and entrapment neuropathies, chemotherapy neuropathy (except cancer charities), etc. Several people have come forward to assist with this and work is progressing to get the new charity up and running.
