Allied Professionals Forum

The Allied Professionals Forum (APF) is an educational and training forum for allied health professionals, such as physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, speech-language pathologists, social workers and more, who specialise in ALS/MND. This international forum offers healthcare professionals from around the world an opportunity to share ideas on good practice in the daily management of people with ALS/MND.

The International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations will host an Allied Professionals Forum. The meeting will be attended by 300+ delegates from over 40 countries around the globe either in person or virtually. The location for the in-person events is Basel, Switzerland.
