conference

PWSA is proud to be part of the organising committee for the 5th Asia Pacific Prader-Willi Syndrome Conference. Organised by the National Associations of Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Thailand, we invite you to join us at the 5th Asia Pacific PWS Conference 2021.

The impact of Covid-19 has provided an opportunity to present a virtual conference which will widen our audience and reach those who would usually be unable to travel to an overseas conference venue.

Our conference programme will feature international speakers from around the Asia Pacific region and across the globe, covering the latest research and information on topics such as:

• GENETICS
• GROWTH HORMONE THERAPY
• ENDOCRINOLOGY
• DIET & NUTRITION
• PHYSIO & SPEECH THERAPY
• MENTAL HEALTH
• AGEING AND RESIDENTIAL SUPPORT

Our conference theme is ‘One Voice Together’ – this year marks the first time we’ve included a day (Day 3) which will be focused on providing an insight into the lives of people living with PWS. This is a new initiative aimed at ‘giving a voice’ to the people we support. 

This conference is relevant to those living with Prader-Willi syndrome, families, support agencies, residential providers, medical and allied health professionals, health science and social workers, educators and students.
