    Dear Dr Slowie, I currently chair the South West Learning Disability Nurses Network. Our annual conference is scheduled for 11th October 2013 at Buckfast Abbey, Devon.

    We are seeking a key note speaker who would be able to update us on the natoinal/ strategic programme and enable us to evaluate our practice and service models across the South West.

    We would be very grateful if you could consider supporting our conference with a key note address or advise on a member of your team who may be able to assist..

    Our financial resources are very limited but we can assist with reasonable travel costs.

    yours in anticipation.
