"Living with CVS: Psychological Insights into the Mind–Body Connection"
This is a very strong line up and will address both diagnosis, the latest in treatments as well as developing research, and also an insight into the non-direct consequences on a sufferers wellbeing.
There will be plenty of opportunity for questions, and discussions.
This should not be missed!
