Plant a seed…grow a community.
Pleased I am apart of a proactive and progressive team. I was the subject today and my team fixed my right sided posterior canal BPPV. So simple and effective. It’s a potential quality of life / life saver in our older population. Thanks team 👏👏.

When one’s work is shared at a conference….it is the culmination of a lot of people’s willingness to share their knowledge.
Delighted to see @acpivr’s @thefallguyUK’s paper being quoted by @SusanWhitney2 at the 2nd international vestibular conference in Dublin today. Excellent clinical resource helping to identify vestibular disorders that can make a big difference to patient care 👏🏻
