1st RIMS Workshop
From
06/12/2018
until 06/12/2018
On behalf of RIMS, we thank the delegates and faculty for making our 1st RIMS Workshop 'Rehabilitation in Progressive MS' a success. The Workshop took place at the Scandic Hotel in Copenhagen (DK), on Thursday 6 December 2018.
We are proud to have been able to bring together 58 delegates from 12 countries, giving all of us the opportunity to interact with healthcare professionals, researchers and patient representatives sharing knowledge and experiences on topics related to rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis.
We are proud that we can call our first workshop of the RIMS 'going local tour' a success. Every year we will organize this workshop in another city in Europe. With this tour, we want to give everyone access close to home.
