TWO seminars exploring issues surrounding a little-known neurological condition come to East Lancashire on February 28 and March 1.

The first Symposium on Dystonia is aimed at medical professionals and will feature addresses by some of the country's leading experts on the condition which affects movement.

The day after, around 150 carers and sufferers will attend two half-day seminars looking at the treatment and genetic implications of dystonia.

Both events are being held at the Astley Bank Hotel, Bolton Road, Darwen between 9am and 4.30pm. Admission is free to carers and sufferers although places must be confirmed by contacting ADDER -- Action for Dystonia, Diagnosis, Education and Research -- on 01325 332723.
