A Day in Dublin: Albinism Fellowship 2016 Mini Conference

We are returning to ChildVision www.childvision.ie, a school for children with visual impairment, for our third mini Albinism Fellowship www.albinism.org.uk conference aimed primarily at our members in Ireland and Northern Ireland but open to all.

This one day event will cover a range of topics relevant to people with albinism and parents of children with albinism and any interested professionals supporting them. The semi-formal programme will include presentations, panel discussions, a small exhibition of equipment & services and opportunities to ask questions.

There will be a creche for young children and some activities for older children/young people but older children are also welcome to join the conference sessions (at parents discretion). There will be refreshment and lunch breaks for socialising and networking and the warm welcome and informal approach will encourage and support the sharing of experiences of albinsim in a positive sociable setting.
