Summer Meeting June 22nd Nottingham

We can now confirm we have two brilliant speakers:

Professor Thangam Venkatesan from the University of Ohio USA. She is a leading researcher in CVS and has spoken at our annual Family Day on two occasions and was brilliant. We had fantastic feedback. She is an advisor to the US CVS society and lead author on the published guidelines for treatment of adults with CVS.

We can't stress enough how rare an opportunity this is, Thangam was one of the main organisers of a CVS seminar last year, where a multitude of experts gathered to discuss the latest research. People who attend can hear about the latest progress, and there is a lot, and the exciting research that is happening now.

Dr Maura Corsetti is a consultant gastroenterologist and Clinical Associate Professor from the University of Nottingham and Queens Medical Centre. She too has spoken at  our Family Day and again, had brilliant feedback. We have also had several unsolicited recommendations for her and her colleagues, from members who had appointments with her following her presentation. One said it had been "life changing". 

We normally only hold one meeting a year, we are a small all-volunteer charity and it takes a lot of work to organise these. We are too small to organise regional meetings, but we are aware of the need, and it is something we will work towards. The fact we decided to hold  two meetings this years should speak to how special this will be.

The medical experts give up their own time, unpaid, to help CVS sufferers. This should be an outstanding meeting. Please make every effort to attend.
