Seeing is Believing:
mTBI & PTSD Unlocking the complexity and controversy

This conference is the third in a series presented by Re:Cognition Health. The aim of the series is to provide a forum to combine the rapidly emerging developments in neuroscience and neuro imaging with their application in clinical and medicolegal practice.

This particular conference, like the second, will focus on one of the areas that generates the most debate amongst clinical practitioners – mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Controversy about the nature and cause of symptoms post mTBI has raged for over 150 years. Throughout this time, it was hoped that in the future diagnostic techniques would achieve a level of granularity to sufficiently dissect the pathophysiology, and shine a light on these ongoing controversies.

This conference will share the latest insights in the field, with an emphasis on how relevant new data is to clinical and medico-legal practice.

Family Matters: Understanding and addressing family needs after brain injury

This professional conference aimed at rehabilitation providers, lawyers, case managers, therapists, and academics will explore the family experience of acquired brain injury, including what family members say they need and what works for them. Throughout the day we will examine how we might alter our practice to accommodate their needs, respond appropriately to the trauma experienced by the whole family and ensure our intervention also facilitates family adjustment. Drawing on the existing evidence base and current research the presentations today will endeavour to address these issues, and delegates will:

- gain a greater appreciation of the reality of the family experience

- consider the factors underpinning the impact of trauma on family members

- develop an understanding of the concept of stress on family members, ambiguous loss, emotional overload and burden of care

- familiarisation with the range and extent of family (including spouses, siblings, child relatives) needs following acquired brain injury

- appreciation of the different 'lenses' through which family experiences post-injury can be viewed, resulting in different opportunities for intervention and support

- understand the concept of the expert companion in supporting needs over time

- engage in the development of a structured narrative for families living in ambiguous circumstances

- reflect upon how their knowledge, experience and expectations affect interactions with family members

There will be opportunities throughout the day to share experience, learn from each other and be inspired by the stories told and the research presented.

Growing the new you
Brain injury rehabilitation as a different experience

THIS CONFERENCE IS NOW SOLD OUT!

This conference will include presentations at an in-depth level by leading national clinicians, practitioners and researchers to describe and challenge the misconceptions that are held by some about clinical rehabilitation – in terms of research, outcomes, and the idea of a ‘final end point’ with respect to recovery after brain injury; and in the process of rehabilitation. How should the concept of neurorehabilitation be understood in real life?

What are the positive changes and opportunities that can be identified by a perception that rehabilitation is about reaching one’s potential, particularly for children and young people whose brains are still developing, rather than rehabilitating ‘back to’ something?
