Your participation and opinion is vital. We need a good cross-section of TMers for the resulting data to be valid. The survey takes 20 to 30 minutes to do. Click here to do the Prioritisation Survey. LAST DATE OF SUBMISSION IS 31 MAY 2014 The TM Society is working with the Spinal Injuries Association and Cauda Equina Society to seek out patients' priority questions for research in the field of spinal injury. The list is being compiled in three steps; an open request for research questions, a voting on those questions posed to create a list of the top 30 and then finally a workshop to produce 10 research questions from the list of 30. The first step has been completed. In all, a total of 784 research questions were proposed (of which over 25% were proposed by TMers) and after a great deal of work to eliminate duplicates and ensure that the questions could be answered by research, the list was reduced to a long list of 84. We are now at the second stage of the process. Based on the response to the 84 questions posed, the list will be further reduced to 30 questions by those that take part in the Prioritisation Survey.
This event coincides with Transverse Myelitis Awareness Day and all proceeds go to the TMS.

They were held at two of the UK's major neurological centres of excellence, enabling us to build on relationships with medical staff at each centre and also, to provide an activity in the north for our TMS members. We went for a one day format, with a programme consisting of 4 or 5 speakers and plenty of time for question/answer sessions and ample time for delegates to talk to other participants.
