- [Adapting our approach to help the most vulnerable](https://nrtimes.co.uk/adapting-our-approach-to-help-the-most-vulnerable/): Individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain injury or other serious injury are of course vulnerable especially in the current climate. If a traumatic event has caused the injury, friends may slowly drift away and social isolation becomes problematic. There are some fantastic support groups for those with brain injury, such as, for example, Headway. Headway has a national branch and many local groups and branches to support those with an acquired brain injury. Irwin Mitchell has a unique offering of client liaison managers. They are nurses, occupational therapists and social workers by background. They support our clients throughout litigation before liability (fault) can be established.
- [NMT as an effective rehab tool for stroke survivors](https://nrtimes.co.uk/neurologic-music-therapy-as-an-effective-rehab-tool-for-stroke-survivors/): Suffering a stroke is a frightening event. They occur suddenly and without warning, usually caused by a blockage of arteries leading to the brain, which is known as an ischaemic stroke. Another, less common stroke, can be caused by bleeding into brain tissue when a blood vessel bursts, but ischaemic strokes remain the most common. Regardless of which stroke is experienced, it always affects how the body functions.
- [Collaboration is key to get the best patient outcomes](https://nrtimes.co.uk/collaboration-is-key-to-get-the-best-patient-outcomes/): In years gone by, the relationship between rehabilitation professionals and law firms perhaps wasn’t always the easiest. But having been a physiotherapist for over 20 years before moving into serious injury law, I have seen from both sides of the fence how relations have improved over time; benefitting patient outcomes in the process. Historically, healthcare professionals could be somewhat defensive in their dealings with serious injury solicitors.
- [Maintaining progress amid the madness](https://nrtimes.co.uk/maintaining-progress-amid-the-madness/): Many of our personal injury clients at Irwin Mitchell suffer from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). They rely upon case managers, rehabilitation therapists and support workers to help them function. Things that we take for granted can only be done with a lot of scaffolding in place. So what happens in a pandemic, when social distancing is enforced? The most obvious impact is that all of the treating therapists and support staff are unable to attend to provide the usual treatment and support.
- [Charities and community rehab groups pull together](https://nrtimes.co.uk/charities-and-community-rehab-groups-pull-together/): It contacted the Department of Health & Social Care, NHS England and the Chief Medical Officer to request that ABI was included on the list of ‘vulnerable’ conditions. The change would result in the NHS responding to ABI people as high risk and any advice and support through 111 and 999 would be more likely to be treated as a priority. At the time of writing ABI is not directly referenced by Public Health England as vulnerable (please check online www.gov.uk for subsequent changes).
- [The Coronavirus Act and how it could affect care providers](https://nrtimes.co.uk/the-coronavirus-act-and-how-it-could-affect-you/): The Coronavirus Act 2020 intends to help services cope with a limited number of staff available to help people with care and support needs. It gives local authorities the option to suspend some of their duties under the Care Act if they think it’s reasonable to do so. This could be because there aren’t enough staff to cope with an increased demand over the next few months. Local authorities must follow a specific decision-making process to decide if they need to suspend these duties. Local authorities should also let carers and people using their service know if they’re going to suspend these duties. The suspended duties are called the ‘Care Act easements’.
- [Independence Day](https://nrtimes.co.uk/independence-day/): Whilst collaboration between claimant and defendant lawyers is considered the key to the success of effective rehabilitation, this case study is a reminder to take an open minded and consistent approach to rehabilitation, the odd leap of faith and to never, ever give up. In 2013 we were approached by my client, B’s mum about a statutory will to support her son who was residing in a residential care home. In 2011 B had sustained a very severe traumatic brain injury resulting in severe and complex neurological problems.
- [The order of evidence in a catastrophic brain injury case](https://nrtimes.co.uk/the-order-of-evidence-in-a-catastrophic-brain-injury-case/): Order of evidence is important because it ensures that the nature and extent of the claimant’s injuries and their short-term rehabilitation requirements are identified and that the deficits are subsequently forensically analysed to ensure the appropriate damages are recovered. Every lawyer is different and they will have their own approach. Although this article identifies my own personal views, there will always be different approaches and the particular context of a case may necessitate a different approach too. Every lawyer is different and they will have their own approach. Although this article identifies my own personal views, there will always be different approaches and the particular context of a case may necessitate a different approach too. An example might be where there is a clear accommodation need at the outset of a case, a lawyer may instruct an architect at an early stage to comment on immediate adaptation works, rather than wait for the totality of the medical framework to come through.
- [Capacity to make decisions about using the internet](https://nrtimes.co.uk/capacity-to-make-decisions-about-using-the-internet/): The development of the internet and social media has fundamentally changed the way in which people exchange information and engage with society. Use of the internet and social media is said to be of particular importance for people with disabilities, as it can offer opportunities for social inclusion, learning new skills and enhanced autonomy. However, using the internet and social media can also expose vulnerable people to the risk of abuse and predatory behaviour and the risks associated with accessing inappropriate content. It is therefore important that, when a person lacks the mental capacity to make decisions regarding their use of the internet and social media, steps are taken to ensure that their access to social media or the internet is managed in their best interests.
- [Private and NHS hospitals join forces in COVID-19 fight](https://nrtimes.co.uk/private-and-nhs-hospitals-join-forces-in-covid-19-fight/): Nearly 20,000 fully qualified staff will be joining the NHS response to the pandemic, helping manage the expected surge in cases. The extra resources now secured by the health service will not only be available to treat coronavirus patients, but will also help the NHS deliver other urgent operations and cancer treatments. The deal – the first of its kind ever – includes the provision of 8,000 hospital beds across England, nearly 1200 more ventilators, more than 10,000 nurses, over 700 doctors and over 8,000 other clinical staff. In London it includes over 2000 hospital beds, and over 250 operating theatres and critical beds.
- [Kindness in therapy and why it’s important](https://nrtimes.co.uk/kindness-in-therapy-and-why-its-important/): As healthcare professionals, we are always kind, right? We always look at both sides of the argument, never judge others or get frustrated with our clients… Well, maybe not. Of course, we are human and just as easily swayed by our foibles as the next person. However, and this may sound obvious, when working with vulnerable clients and families as we do, there is an even bigger need for kindness to be at the core of our interactions. It was whilst standing in the school yard with my children that I first started to really think about this. We spend maybe five or ten minutes each day in the yard all of the other parents.
- [Is it already time for rehab prescription 3.0?](https://nrtimes.co.uk/is-it-already-time-for-rehab-prescription-3-0/): Having spent over 20 years as a physiotherapist, I remember the initial problems experienced by patients and healthcare professionals in ensuring an effective joined up approach to rehabilitation. This was especially noticeable as patients moved between stages of recovery in acute centres and then on to rehabilitation in the community. This gave rise to the initial concept of the Rehabilitation Prescription (RP) a decade ago. Having since retrained as a serious injury lawyer, I see similar issues still affecting my clients today. The RP should set out exactly what treatment is required for an individual in the aftermath of a serious injury, a bespoke approach to each patient’s specific needs.
- [How to be a better medical expert](https://nrtimes.co.uk/how-to-be-a-better-medical-expert/): There is more to being a good medico-legal expert than being a good doctor. It is rare to win a clinical negligence case (and this is my field) without good experts. But sometimes cases go wrong because the expert lets a client down. With the right expert evidence, people who should get damages win their cases but those who should not, do not pursue claims (and hopefully understand why). Costs are incurred on the right cases. My goal is for the right people to get damages and for the health service not to spend the minimum on costs in the process. With the right expert evidence, people who should get damages win their cases but those who should not, do not pursue claims (and hopefully understand why). Costs are incurred on the right cases. My goal is for the right people to get damages and for the health service not to spend the minimum on costs in the process. So after many years of running clinical negligence claims, here are 10 top tips on how to be a good medical expert.
- [Summersaulting out of the comfort zone](https://nrtimes.co.uk/summersaulting-out-of-the-comfort-zone/): We all know that taking exercise has both physical and mental health benefits. Staying active is easy for some, and not so easy for others. The current campaign run by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy is “Love activity, Hate exercise”. Taking this principle we try to prompt and increase where possible, general activity for all our patients at our St Neots neurological service. For some this may be encouraging them to be more involved on the ward generally, in group activities or on outings. For the more physically able patients, we were looking for a fun way to engage and push them outside their comfort zone to see if this could potentially improve their function or mobility.rehab opportunities when they had a gold standard idea...
- [What makes a good medico-legal expert?](https://nrtimes.co.uk/what-makes-a-good-medico-legal-expert/): A medico-legal expert’s duty is to the Court. They have a duty to be independent. They should have this duty at the forefront of their mind when carrying out their assessment(s) and when preparing their report(s). An expert’s evidence will be completely undermined if it transpires that they are saying what the party who is paying them wants to say unless that is their genuine view. It should go without saying that experts should be courteous to the Claimant and their families both during the assessment and in the report. There is an increase in Claimants seeking to record expert assessments either covertly or overtly.
- [Working your way back after injury](https://nrtimes.co.uk/working-your-way-back-after-injury/): After being assaulted in 1998, Dean Harding’s life was turned upside down. Years of rehabilitation followed to help him cope with his traumatic brain injury. But the world of work seemed a place he would never return to, believing that he “wasn’t capable”. However, the birth of his son 17 years later changed his whole outlook on life. “I didn't want him growing up thinking, ‘why isn't my dad working?’,” remembers Dean. “Most people work, or they’re supposed to. It gives me a sense of feeling like a ‘normal’ person, although I've still got my disabilities.”
- ["I am able to enjoy every day"](https://nrtimes.co.uk/i-am-able-to-enjoy-every-day/): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-GiDOXvU-c Cambridgeshire dad Jason was on holiday in Portugal in 2012 when his life changed forever. A car hit him during an early morning bike ride, breaking his back, legs and ribs and severing his spine. Jason, from Littleport, received treatment for three weeks in Lisbon, before being moved to Cambridge. He then spent a further three months at Northern General Hospital in Sheffield. Here specialists gave him the devastating news that he would never walk again. Jason and his family contacted Irwin Mitchell’s specialist serious injury solicitors about making a claim to help fund his ongoing care needs.
- [The manual therapist’s new best friend?](https://nrtimes.co.uk/the-manual-therapists-new-best-friend/): New York-based Spine Care Technologies, launched in March 2018, believes it has the answer in the Extentrac Elite; which enables non-surgical, drug free, disc and spine care treatment. The device is a multidirectional decompression device used to aid the treatment of spinal injuries, mostly from the thoracic (mid) to the lumbar (lower) spine. It is used in in the treatment of minor degenerative disc disease, through to drop-foot and serious neurological impingement.
- [Resource shortages jeopardising brain injury care – study](https://nrtimes.co.uk/resource-shortages-jeopardising-brain-injury-care-study/): Research by Calvert Reconnections and Exchange Chambers examined the effectiveness of the brain injury recovery process through a series of interviews with the country’s most senior brain injury solicitors. While 71 per cent said the NHS is unable to provide effective support for brain injured patients, the vast majority (97 per cent) expressed concerns about the lack of residential-based brain injury rehab units in the UK. Delays and early resistance continue to be claimant lawyers’ main concerns with insurers handling brain injury cases. Positively, however, solicitors believe greater cooperation by insurers has been the greatest advance over the past three years.
- [Worrying trends in health and safety enforcement](https://nrtimes.co.uk/worrying-trends-in-health-and-safety-enforcement/): I recently read an article in a British Safety Council publication referencing HSE annual statistics noting that prosecutions for health and safety breaches were at a record low, with 2018/19 prosecutions down by 23 per cent from 2017/18 numbers, and more than a third since 2014/15. Concern was expressed that some employers were prepared to ignore health and safety laws believing that they would never be “caught”. Whilst it has always been the case that some element of employers are prepared to flout health and safety regulations for profit, or simply through recklessness, the concern is whether the proportion prepared to ignore these laws is growing or decreasing; whether the trend is going in the right direction.
- [Children’s neurologic music therapy project extended](https://nrtimes.co.uk/childrens-neurologic-music-therapy-prioject-extended/): Chroma, a provider of neurologic music therapy (NMT) is working with children, and their families, recovering from acquired brain injuries or auto immune conditions. York-based charity Jessie’s Fund originally funded the yearlong feasibility study and following independent evaluation has agreed with the hospital’s trust to extend the project for another year. Chroma’s music therapist will work as part of the multi-disciplinary team to support paediatric in-patients at Great North Children’s Hospital.
- [“She started playing, and then spoke for the first time”](https://nrtimes.co.uk/she-started-playing-and-then-spoke-for-the-first-time/): When a music therapist first came to Karima Collins’ stroke ward, her NHS- issue sceptic alert fired up. “We’re trained to be quite critical and to focus on the evidence,” she says. “When someone makes grand claims about what the therapy can do, like improving attention, communication and reducing neglect, I was sceptical. How on earth could it do all these things?” Then she saw the video evidence – and heard more about how neurologic music therapy (NMT) can transform outcomes in stroke patients.
- [Why music is the key that unlocks family problems](https://nrtimes.co.uk/why-music-is-the-key-that-unlocks-family-problems/): In this age of strained healthcare resources, all therapists must be able to quickly and succinctly evidence their value. In the neurologic strand of music therapy, this is aided by an approach in which assessments feature prominently. In the psychodynamic branch of music therapy with children and families, however, measuring and reporting progress has long been a significant challenge. Why is it important to assess families and more specifically, the interactions between parent and child? The most crucial reason would be to protect the children from negative parenting behaviours such as neglect or abuse.
- [What makes a good case manager on a catastrophic injury case?](https://nrtimes.co.uk/what-makes-a-good-case-manager-on-a-catastrophic-injury-case/): A case manager’s role in a seriously injured person recovery cannot be understated, write David Withers, partner at Irwin Mitchell.
- [Court in the wheels of progress](https://nrtimes.co.uk/court-in-the-wheels-of-progress/): The Court of Protection (CoP) makes decisions on financial and welfare matters for people lacking mental capacity. It was created under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and has a range of responsibilities, including deciding whether an individual has mental capacity, and appointing deputies to make decisions for people who lack it. Deputies may be a friend or relative of the individual, or a professional such as a solicitor or accountant appointed by the court. The CoP can significantly influence the work of professionals with clients with brain injuries and neurological conditions.
- [Striking a balance in rehabilitation](https://nrtimes.co.uk/striking-a-balance-in-rehabilitation/): Rehabilitation on catastrophic injury cases should work for both claimants and defendants, subject of course to liability attaching to the defendant or being likely to attach. At the outset of a serious injury case, claimants generally have two short-term priorities: Alleviate financial hardship Maximise their recovery through effective rehabilitation. It is right to say that an additional priority soon becomes finding certainty that they lead a reasonable life in the future and overcome, insofar as possible, the often life-changing and very significant and shocking trauma that they have been through.
- [Adventures in Neurologic Music Therapy](https://nrtimes.co.uk/adventures-in-neurologic-music-therapy/): Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) provides specific, individualised and standardised interventions for people with brain injury or neurological conditions. It is distinct from traditional music therapy approaches as it is not based on a social-science model. Rather, it is underpinned by neuroscience and recognises music as a hard-wired brain language. The discipline of NMT improves cognitive, sensory and motor dysfunction caused by neurologic disease of the human nervous system; and is becoming increasingly relied upon to deliver better neuro-rehab outcomes.
- [Addressing the paradox of employers’ liability insurance](https://nrtimes.co.uk/addressing-the-paradox-of-employers-liability-insurance/): If an individual suffers an injury on the road through the negligence of a driver, they will recover compensation. This is because of the provisions within Section 143 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Even if there was no insurance attaching to the vehicle, the Motor Insurers’ Bureau would satisfy any unsatisfied Judgment. But there are numerous cases in which insurers in road traffic accident cases have tried a variety of methods to avoid liability including seeking a statutory declaration, asserting that the insurance policy is only relevant if the policyholder was driving or in the vehicle, and stating that the use of the vehicle was different to that which was insured.
- [How Sarah jumped beyond the boundaries of her injury](https://nrtimes.co.uk/how-sarah-jumped-beyond-the-boundaries-of-her-injury/): When Sarah’s mother was in labour, the hospital staff failed to pick up on what should have been worrying signals coming from the CTG monitor. After experiencing lack of oxygen at birth, Sarah* was diagnosed with mild athetoid cerebral palsy as a baby. By age five she had vision problems and required occasional use of a wheelchair. She could finger feed, although it was somewhat clumsy and her parents had to help her at mealtimes. Liquids also had to be thickened to make drinking easier. Her manual dexterity was poor and she was susceptible to chest infections. The hospital Trust denied liability for Sarah’s injury and so a protracted liability trial followed.
- [Marching to a new beat](https://nrtimes.co.uk/marching-to-a-new-beat/): Transitioning from military to civilian life can take its toll not only on ex-military personnel but their families too. Physical and/or mental trauma can negatively impact relationships between loved ones as those directly affected struggle to come to terms with the aftermath of war. Veterans’ difficulty transitioning to civilian life can fuel anger and frustration within a household, and leave loved ones feeling increased levels of anxiety and isolation.
- [NHS measures could ease access to medical cannabis](https://nrtimes.co.uk/nhs-measures-could-ease-access-to-medical-cannabis/): NHS England and NHS Improvement issued a report last week setting out a series of measures to help remove barriers to the appropriate prescription of medical cannabis on the NHS. The report, commissioned by the government in March, comes amid a farcical situation in the UK in which medical cannabis containing THC has been legalised for certain conditions since November 2018; yet reportedly, just two children have been given NHS prescriptions since. The new measures aim to tackle the current stasis both by helping doctors gain a better understanding of cannabis medicine and speeding up the generation of vital research linking cannabis with various conditions and symptoms.
- [The gait way to more independence](https://nrtimes.co.uk/the-gait-way-to-more-independence/): Private clinic the London Orthotic Consultancy (LOC), founded in 2004, provides bespoke orthotic treatments for a wide range of adult and paediatric conditions. It operates privately across the whole of the UK and abroad and also has a growing number of international clients. Director Sam Walmsley explains: “We deal with complex physical problems and generally manufacture bespoke orthotics to address them. We have a unique setup for the UK in that we have 2D video vector gait labs and we do all our manufacturing on site.’’
- [Do you need capacity to use the internet and social media?](https://nrtimes.co.uk/do-you-need-capacity-to-use-the-internet-and-social-media/): Arguably the biggest difference has been felt by people who would otherwise find talking with others hugely challenging; including those with certain disabilities and/or social difficulties.

- [Taking rehabilitation to the extreme](https://nrtimes.co.uk/taking-rehabilitation-to-the-extreme/): “How many kids in a wheelchair get to see the world from the top of a mountain, and then slide down it?” says Chris Loyn, who first saw his son Jack’s face light up as he hurtled down a ski slope four years ago. “To be out of his wheelchair and suddenly flying freely down a mountain, the fresh air blasting in his face, it was just awesome.” Jack, now 30, suffered a brain hemorrhage at just two weeks old and was left wheelchair bound as a result of spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. In 2015 Chris heard of an organised ski trip taking people with severe brain injuries and complex disabilities to France for an adventure he hadn’t thought possible.

- [Achieving best outcomes in case management](https://nrtimes.co.uk/achieving-best-outcomes-in-case-management/): By this definition, case management can be seen as a shared creative process, undertaken by a professional and their client, aimed at identifying solutions to address the client’s unmet needs and helping them to achieve their goals in a resource-efficient manner. Research has consistently shown the inextricable link between biomedical health, psychological wellbeing and social factors. In the context of case management, in order to maximise clients’ rehabilitation potential, biomedical issues should therefore not be isolated from their psychological and social counterparts as these components are interconnected and interrelated.
- [The NR Times study guide: classification of traumatic brain injury](https://nrtimes.co.uk/the-nr-times-study-guide-classification-of-traumatic-brain-injury/): We often use the terms “concussion” and “mild” or “minor” head or brain injury, synonymously; and read “moderate”, “severe” and, more recently, “very severe” brain injury in medical records. When used appropriately these terms convey information about the clinical presentation, especially in the hours and days following a brain injury. This information helps us to predict overall outcomes, and informs opinions on prognosis. The most widely used definitions are shown in table A (below). Sometimes it is more useful to consider a TBI according to anatomy and pathology. To do this we must first understand some basic principles of brain structure and function.

We use all kinds of means of communication and creative processes to engage and allow people with a brain injury to express themselves. And if people want to be a tree, then that’s fine, but there is a very wide variety of other ways in which we work,” she explains.
- [Making the case for a career change](https://nrtimes.co.uk/making-the-case-for-a-career-change/): Having worked as a neurosciences occupational therapist in the NHS for more than 15 years, it felt somewhat surreal leaving behind my team and service, which had become deeply embedded in my daily routine. The opportunity to undertake an exciting new challenge in my career, despite the anxieties of the unknown and a loyalty to a service of which I was extremely fond and proud, paved the way for a move that in the end proved difficult to decline. Before I could hesitate, I was driving to Cornwall to complete an immediate needs assessment and I was delighted to complete my report within the 21-day deadline. Phew! I reflect on my first year in case management noting the increased consumption of coffee but more significantly with immense pride of my achievements.

Feelings beat facts, offense is derived from almost anything and parental mollycoddling has hit record levels. To the uninitiated, then, the idea of ‘compassion-focused therapy (CFT)’ might sound like yet another sign of barmy snowflakery. But as growing numbers of psychotherapists are proving, it is, in fact, emerging as a highly effective approach in post-brain injury rehab. CFT was conceived by Paul Gilbert, a world- renowned clinical psychologist who founded the Compassionate Mind Foundation in 2006; and published 'The Compassionate Mind: A New Approach to Life's Challenges and Overcoming Depression' in 2009.
