We had a evening meeting with a presentation from Chris Roberts and Jayne Goodrick, reflecting on their experience through diagnosis over 10 years, which lead them to be pro-active into “Research”. They closed their meeting by advocating we should all read a copy of “Knowledge is Power”. It was a great meeting of minds, thanks to them travelling from Wales to Nottingham.
