The event marks the second webinar held by NRC Medical Experts, in association with NR Times, following a successful debate about the Rehabilitation Prescription earlier in the year. 

The upcoming webinar will focus on brain injury rehab, and the advances made in innovation to better meet the needs of people living with life-changing injuries. 

Through changes in technology, developments in medicine and the advances in neurorehabilitation, brain injury patients should face an outlook which is better than ever before. 

However, the lack of resource within health services, exacerbated by the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and mounting pressures on the NHS, mean that progress and change is not being seen at the rate many would hope for. 

“We are very much looking forward to addressing the very pertinent topic of brain injury rehabilitation with our stellar panel, all of whom have a vital role to play in supporting people living with brain injuries and their families,” says Deborah Johnson, editor of NR Times. 

“Innovation and technology is a hugely exciting area, but the impact of COVID on already stretched resources is of great concern. 

“Our webinar will look at the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and what more can be done to improve the lives of patients and their families.”
