Venue: Croke Park Conference Centre, Dublin.
22q is a very rare condition that amongst other symptoms involves cleft palate. On Saturday 26th May a conference is being organised for people that are ‘living with 22q”. It is an opportunity to meet other families, healthcare professionals and experts and admission is free.
The conference is being held in Croke Park Conference Centre. Creche facilities will be provided. Please contact Anne Lawler (01) 8338390 or email grainne.mooney@o2.ie for more details.
Parent’s evenings are informal occasions that allow parents of children born with cleft to meet and share experiences. It can be encouraging for parents to meet with other parents who have children of the same age or a little older. It is also good to share tips with parents who have younger children. The evening is not geared for children as such, but newborns are more than welcome – we know that getting babysitters in the early days is not always possible. We look forward to seeing you over a cup of tea!
