At Elysium Healthcare we are keen to share our professional knowledge, thoughts and experience with the wider Learning Disability and Autism communities.
Each year we host a CPD Certified educational conference where we invite a number of external delegates and our internal staff to hear professionals and academics talk about key topics within the areas of learning disability, autism and challenging behaviour.
