The remote rehab initiatives which are helping to change the face of neuro-rehab and wider healthcare are to be recognised in the first-ever NR Times Awards.
In the recent past, and particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the positive use and huge potential of remote rehab has really come to the fore in the sector.
Through the use of digital technology, and platforms enabling home-based rehab, patients are able to access therapy and support in ways that have, until recently, not been widely possible.
While many have been pioneering remote and digital solutions for several years, for others it has been more recent – but, in the inaugural NR Times Awards, we want to shine a light on the innovative practice which is leading to more accessible care for patients.
The Remote Rehab Initiative of the Year Award is one of 12 categories open for entry, which seek to acknowledge excellence and outstanding dedication across the field of neuro-rehab.
This award is sponsored by Think Therapy 1st, a fast-growing national provider of Specialist Rehabilitation Occupational Therapy for clients of all ages, injuries and levels resulting from personal injury or clinical negligence.
Its unique approach to functional rehabilitation is enabling clients across the country to secure outcomes far beyond expectations, and is a keen adopter of remote rehab techniques.
Steph Fleet, head of service development and customer relationships at Think Therapy 1st, says: “As a team situated throughout the UK, we operate remotely with each other and have devised innovative methods to meet our clients’ needs, such as delivering remote neuro-rehab focused on activity.
“We are looking to find other rehabilitation providers and practitioners who excel in providing exceptional remote neuro-rehab.”
Deborah Johnson, editor of NR Times, adds: “Over the past few years, we have seen a phenomenal rise of adoption of digitalisation within neuro-rehab, with patients being able to access therapy in a more timely and convenient way for them than ever before.
“The innovation in this field has been outstanding. From the early pioneers and adopters who were using remote rehab techniques pre-pandemic, to those who have realised its power more recently, the result is that we are now in an exciting and fast-developing period where remote rehab features prominently in neuro-rehab and wider healthcare.
“We want to shine a light on the work of those who are helping to make the change, and whose commitment to delivering remote and digital solutions is helping to change the lives of patients.”
