On 19th December 2013 the Tizard Centre held the inaugural meeting of the Kent Learning Disability Research Network. The event was very popular, with about 50 people attending, including Kent psychologists, psychiatrists, other health care staff, social care staff, commissioners, managers and a head teacher from a special school. Prof Glynis Murphy introduced the event and then Tizard staff and PhD students presented their research posters. There followed a presentation from Nicole Palmer on Research Governance and Sponsorship, plus a very lively discussion about the possible role for the group and the areas that need further research.
The next meeting will be on 10th April 2014, 3.30-5.30. Please contact j.ruffels@kent.ac.uk to book a place. Please note that places are limited.
