Benefits
Individual members as well as all professionals from a member centre are
able to get RIMS Annual Conference registration fee at a special member
fee.
A number of Special Interest Groups (SIG) have been established. The
groups meet at least once a year during RIMS annual conference. They are
also encouraged to hold an annual in-between workshop. Active groups are
supported financially by RIMS which means that e.g. the hotel
accommodation and meals for in-between meetings are covered at least
partly by RIMS SIG funding. The active SIGs at this phase are: Mobility,
Psychology and Neuropsychology, Communication and swallowing, Bladder,
bowel and sexual, Social integration and participation and Occupation.

Note that SIGs are all meant to be
multiprofessional forums – so you do not need to be e.g. a speech
therapist to attend SIG on Communication and swallowing sessions – it is
very suitable for nurses and dieticians also.
At RIMS Annual General Assembly all member centres have six votes and
individual and society members have one vote.
