Entries for a prestigious prize which recognises outstanding practice in the field of neuro-rehab have now opened.
The ninth Franz Gerstenbrand Award, run by the World Federation for Neurorehabilitation (WFNR), recognises and rewards neuro-rehab projects that have made a difference to patients’ lives.
It is open to WFNR members and non-members worldwide and encourages applications from young applicants, especially those under 35 years of age.
Entries for the Award must demonstrate a positive difference to patient outcomes in any aspect of neuro-rehab in the entrant’s country. The project may be a patient or clinic management initiative, research study, best practice development or the use of a new technological development.
All health professionals currently working in neurorehabilitation are encouraged to enter the Award. The project must be completed and have already produced results or been published in the last 12 months.
Named after Professor Franz Gerstenbrand in recognition of his contribution to neuro-rehab, the Award is for a travel bursary to a clinical or scientific conference, professional development course or research project, worth £3,000.
The Award winner will be announced at the 13th World Congress for Neurorehabilitation, from May 22 to 25, 2024, in Vancouver, Canada.
