The Good Life – A Conference on Neurology, the Immune System, and Living Well with a Disability

Experts, healthcare professionals and people with lived experience will come together to explore a topic that affects many people in the Faroe Islands:
How can we live a good life with a disability, chronic illness or other health challenges?

The title of the health conference is:
The good life.
The Immune System: Friend or Foe?

The conference brings together the latest knowledge in neurology and immunology with a practical and human perspective. The aim is to build bridges between research, healthcare and the everyday lives of people living with these challenges, as well as their families and loved ones.
“We want to show that it is possible to live a good life, even when our health or physical condition places limitations on us. This requires knowledge, collaboration and, not least, listening to those with first-hand experience,” says Kaj Leo Holm Johannesen, Chairman of the Association Koyristólar Skerdur Førleiki.
The conference is open to anyone with an interest in the subject, including people with disabilities or chronic illnesses, family members and carers, healthcare professionals, social care professionals and other interested participants.
Registration is available at www.forleiki.fo or via the Facebook page of the Association Koyristólur Skerdur Førleiki.
