Discussion Groups 2021

Rett UK’s Communication and Education team will be hosting monthly discussion groups during 2021 which focus on talks/topics from the conference and give us all a chance to discuss them together in greater depth. These informal sessions will be held live and are open to anyone who has watched the designated talks for each month’s chosen topic. The discussions will not be recorded and will not be available to watch later.
