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. 

On October 23 rd , the closing ceremony of the 3 rd edition of the course on " Diagnosis and treatment of the Filum Disease " was held in the Central Hall of the Filum Academy Barcelona ® . This is the only course approved at international level to qualify for the accreditation of the FILUM SYSTEM ® SANITARY method. For five days, the doctors had the first hand opportunity to go through the twelve protocols that comprise this method in an intensive form, alternating theoretical training with several case studies. In continuation, the diplomas and accreditations were delivered to the course participants. Please enjoy the photos from this past event.
