Info on Arnold-Chiari I, Idiopathic Syringomyelia, and Idiopathic Scoliosis: Causes and Insights

At the Institut Chiari & Siringomielia & Escoliosis de Barcelona we are very aware that for our patients it is important to be able to express their concerns as freely as possible. Since its foundation, a team of international patient care was built in order to support our medical team in communicating with patients of any language or nationality. More on the topic of cultural mediation in this Blog post here . Today we want to introduce you to our collegue Nina Piorkowska. Polish speaking patients can count on their new contact person since July 2016 to look after them from the first email contact, to the first consultation in person, the surgical treatment and during all of the post-operative follow up process, acting as a bridge between the patients and the medical specialists of the Institut Chiari. 

The Chiari & Scoliosis & Syringomyelia Foundation is happy to announce the next scientific meeting that will be held in the city of Lublin (Poland) on upcoming 27 June 2015.
