I have been informed that people can attend the webinar from outside the UK, but there may be some elements of the rare disease research that the speakers' talk about that is more applicable to the UK.

Free online lunchtime session for Rare Disease Day (RDD)
This year, Rare Disease Day is on that rarest of days, 29th February, and to mark the occasion NIHR Cambridge BRC<https://cambridgebrc.nihr.ac.uk/rare-disease-day-webinar-29-february/> is hosting a free, online session on patient-centred rare disease research.
Join us over lunch (with your food!) from 12.30-1.30pm and find out more about for the journey from genes to mental health, co-designing research with the public and targeting novel therapies for children with neurodisabling disorders.
It's a great opportunity to hear about rare disease research in your area, and hear from our speakers who will share their unique perspectives, knowledge and experience of rare disease patient-centred research. This will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&As from the audience.
