Case management2 Aug“I’ll be honest, when I set up I naively thought I’ll be a lone worker, working at home - I never imagined I’d need a succession plan.”
Like so many others who set up in business, Angela Kerr did not foresee the growth of her venture, AKA Case Management, when she set up in 2002. Having become one of the UK’s best-known case management companies, and with Angela increasingly in demand within the profession after being appointed chair of BABICM in 2016, she knew she needed to address the issue of the long-term future of her thriving business. And the solution lay in the form of Dawn Abernethy, a longstanding member of the AKA team, alongside Andrew Rose, who at that time was a new appointment to the business.
Case management14 JulAmy Crosby has created Evolve Case Management to deliver specialist support to people with brain and spinal injuries, building on her career in nursing and case management, as well as her personal experience of life-changing injury.
After her father sustained a TBI in 2015 after falling down some stairs, resulting in a frontal lobe craniotomy and a five-month stay in hospital, Amy saw first-hand how vital and badly-needed support is post-discharge, for individuals and their families alike. “I realised then how little I knew about brain injury. As a nurse, you’re used to being able to fix things, but brain injury is very different. My dad couldn’t fit into the world he used to live in, which he thought he could go back to, and there was no support or education for us as a family,” she recalls.
Brain injury22 JunUnderstanding suicidal risk and supporting professionals to deal with such a hugely difficult topic is to be tackled in an event being held next week.
Life-changing brain, spinal cord and complex injuries can be significant factors in increasing this risk, as a result of the huge spectrum of difficult emotions a person faces in dealing with their new reality. And for the professionals dealing with clients going through such trauma, suicidal thoughts and acts can cause great distress to them and it can be difficult to know how to react and what action to take. Through the ‘Understanding Suicidal Risk - A Guide for Professionals’ event, held by Sphere Memory and Rehabilitation Team, advice and guidance will be offered to empower those working in complex injury to deal with such situations.
