Projects of Hands Across Borders
In the last years we have had many interactions with our handtherapists in different countries. Some of the stories
we’d like to share with you here.
For example the new webinars that we are giving now, because of the Covid-19 virus which prevents us to visit our colleagues abroad.
Introduction to HAB Webinars
A little introduction into HAB webinars: Before COVID-19 started we held a discussion in our HAB meeting in October 2019 about how we could share knowledge without physically having to travel to different countries.
