This conference will bring together policy makers, researchers, health and social care staff, students, and family carers of adults with learning disabilities to share the latest ideas and developments in the field. Together, we will look at how research can make a real difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities at all stages of life. There will be a strong focus throughout the conference on how we can implement such best practice across the region, exploring the challenges and solutions going forward. The event will include talks from researchers and staff on ongoing research projects and innovative practice across Northern Ireland.

This is a great opportunity to connect, learn from each other and build partnerships that help turn research into action and improve care and support for people with learning disabilities.

This is a catered event. Please let us know if you have dietary or assistance requirements below.
