The Friday evening will be dedicated to members of the medical profession getting together to share their knowledge with the not so knowledgeable and hopefully the inexperienced will leave with a clearer understanding of how to diagnose and treat a patient presenting with the specific and non-specific problems that make up fibromyalgia.
Saturday 26th will be open to the general public and workshops and seminars will include the latest results and findings on fibromyalgia, benefits advice on how to complete the paperwork, holistic therapies, and feel good factors. The sessions will run from 10 a.m.- 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.- 5 p.m. The cost will be £10 per session or a day ticket for £17 (seniors can apply for a £2 discount).
Please note that food is NOT included. To order tickets and receive a programme please send a stamped address envelope to FMSNI, 4 Springwell Drive, Groomsport, Co Down, Northern Ireland, BT19 6JX.

If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
