Elaine Figgins
It is with sadness that I have to tell you of the passing away, after a long battle with cancer, of Elaine Figgins an Orthotist based in Glasgow.
Elaine was very interested in TAG, and the condition, and the people with AMC. She was a lovely lady and very kind and helpful to our members, always willing to answer queries from people all over the country. Elaine also attended (and spoke0 at several events and conferences.
She trained as an orthotist and was a senior lecturer and subsequently head of department at the National Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics at Strathclyde University, before moving to NHS Education for Scotland.
She developed an interest in Arthrogryposis whilst at Strathclyde and worked closely with TAG in the 1990s. It was through her influence and interest that we started the Arthrogryposis clinic in Glasgow and she was assiduous in attending before her diagnosis.

TAG Family Day 2020
In view of the current corona virus pandemic, we, as a board of trustees have taken the decision to postpone this years' family day. We aim to deliver this event at some point during 2021 along with regional events and as soon as we can we will publish the details.
We also have postponed our trustees meetings until further notice while the UK is under social distancing, this is for our well being and I am sure you will all understand the reason behind this. Rest assured we are all in contact via email and telephone and as soon as we can it will be business as usual. Therefore please bear with us while we all get through this unprecedented situation.
From all the trustees - stay safe, stay well and we hope to see you all soon.
