More information about the event can be found here.

The theme of the symposium is ‘Come Together: Putting research into practice for performing arts medicine across our international community’ and Katie’s paper – titled Why Nutrition Matters – The Positive Impact Reducing Sugar and Carbohydrate Intake has on the Singing Voice – will be featured as part of the event’s Poster Parade presentation.
