A huge thank you all personally, and GCHC, for supporting the Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia International Symposium (CDH 2022) which was held here in Glasgow. The Symposium was a huge success with over 140 in-person delegates and the same number virtually. Many attendees came to Glasgow from North America, Europe and Australia, as well as locally from throughout Scotland. Your support and help was fundamental, there is no way we could have held such an impactful and successful event without you. From the initial planning stages, to putting the final touches together, and during the conference itself, you have been there to keep me sane, advise and keep everything running smoothly! I am so grateful for everything you did, and so proud to be able to show colleagues across the world what we can achieve here in Glasgow with your help. I also know that the event has energized our team here to continue our advances in clinical management and research in CDH, as well as strengthening our collaborations with international colleagues and partners. A huge and heart-felt thank you from me again.Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia International Symposium (CDH 2022) Neil Patel, Consultant Neonatologist, Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for organising the PWS party. It was great and everyone had a great time. It’s so special to be able to bring all the patients together in a non-clinical environment and let them enjoy entertainment and party food catered specifically for their condition. You put so much thought and effort into this. Meeting Santa was the highlight of the entire day – thank you again for organising such a fun afternoon!Condition Specific Christmas Party - Prader-Willi Syndrome Peri Wallach - Therapy Assistant Paediatric Dietetics - Royal Hospital for Children
