When: 23 April, 13.00 – 17.00 hrs
Where: Online

On 1 May, Imelda de Groot will retire as rehabilitation specialist, after an impressive career within the neuromuscular field. She helped to improve care with new and innovative ideas, the development of outcome measures, and by making guidelines in collaboration with all disciplines involved.  Her retirement is well-deserved, although, she will stay active in science among other things through supervision of  PhD candidates.

On the 23 April this year, a symposium will be organized which will focus on the past, present and future of child rehabilitation. In particular for patients with neuromuscular diseases. The symposium will be online. This will give even more people the opportunity to attend.
