Home > News > Elizabeth Wilce shortlisted for Lifetime Achievement Award
We’re thrilled to announce that Elizabeth Wilce, our Programme Manager for the Brain Injury Linkworker Service (BILS), has been shortlisted for a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s Neuro Rehab Times Awards!
The prestigious award ‘recognises individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the field through clinical innovation, research, education and patient advocacy.’
On shortlisting Elizabeth for this honour, Neuro Rehab Times said:
“Elizabeth Wilce has dedicated 27 years to improving neurorehabilitation access. In 2012, she led the groundbreaking Brain Injury Linkworker Service (BILS), addressing overlooked brain injury needs in prison and homeless populations. Through her leadership, the service expanded from one prison to 14 Linkworkers across England and Wales. Recent evaluations show significant improvements in participants’ mental health, with reduced anxiety and low mood. Her work also pioneered UK research connecting brain injury with domestic abuse survivors. Because of Elizabeth’s hard work, innovation, and leadership, lives are changed every day.”
