The Conference opened with Kitty Reilly, NTF Chair, who welcomed attendees, and Prof. Findley, NTF Trustee and Co-Founder, who gave a talk on the NTF's history. This was followed by talks on Support Groups by NTF Support Groups Coordinator Jackie Farrell, Kitty on Volunteering and NTF Treasurer Keith Flaxman and NTF Digital Marketing Consultant Duncan Crossland on Fundraising.
Rob Mallard, known as Daniel Osborne from the soap opera Coronation Street and NTF Patron for Young People, shared his personal journey with Essential Tremor during a thought-provoking Q&A session.
Dr. Peter Bain, NTF Trustee and Co-Founder, and James Blann from medical technology company, Insightec, both gave insightful talks on the advancements in cutting edge laser brain surgery known as Focused Ultrasound, offering a discussion on the advantages and limitations of alternative surgical approaches.
