Sorry missed it is there any feedback material from it.
I found it interesting since 'no patient left behind' was part of the theme. But a lot of it was repetitive and I didn't feel patient voices were particularly well represented especially when they were talking about prevention being better than cure. Unfortunately they only mentioned air pollution as a major risk factor so there was nothing about the climate crisis. 7/10 - would have been lower but there was a better mix of genders and ethnicities than usual 
The theme title isn't well researched as we all know from members on here, it isn't true but glad you found it interesting.
How can people prevent it because in my experience it just comes out the blue and we aren't prepared for it.
They weren't talking about the prevention of FND (it didn't get mentioned) but there are some neurological conditions like strokes that can be prevented. I think having a couple of patients speaking would have enhanced the webinar and although it's likely that some of the speakers are patients, they weren't presenting in that capacity. There were lots of slides that I would have liked to study in more detail but there's no way for people who signed up for the webinar to access them.
Can you email them for access?
My friends daughter in law to be has stroke like symptoms but diagnosed with a special type of migrane. Although she didn't tell me the exact name, pretty sure she was talking about Hemiplegic Migrane.
I noticed the symptoms of this have been mentioned in other posts and you wondered if you had any advice/links I could share.
Yes I thought that too. Thanks.
