Our 9th annual conference was this year held via Zoom due to Coronavirus.
Although this meant we weren’t able to meet up in person, it did allow us to open our conference up to a more Global audience where everyone could join at the same time. This was the first truly International conference for the whole WS Community whether you are an affected person, a family member, clinician or researcher and I’m glad that WSUK were able to facilitate this.
Next year we hope to be able to meet up again in person.
We have some of our WSUK branded re-usable facemasks still available. Details can be found on the shop page on how to order.
