Home / What lies ahead at the Brainkind Mini-Conference
By Dr Miles Rogish, Consultant Clinical Psychologist/Neuropsychologist at Brainkind and Dr Sara Da Silva Ramos, Senior Research Fellow at Brainkind
“What makes a conference ‘mini’?” readers might ask. In our case, the “mini” label is intended to reflect the size of the event, which is limited to 30 delegates only.
However, the day is packed with content, and both external and Brainkind speakers are sharing their expertise on “The evolution of person-centred, compassionate care and rehabilitation”.
A small audience also means more prosperous opportunities for networking.
Dr Cathryn Roberts, Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist and Deputy Head of Service at the North Wales Brain Injury Service will discuss applying compassionate leadership to support neurorehabilitation teams and improve care.
Thom Harrison from Perspective Financial Group will discuss long-term financial planning after a catastrophic brain injury.
Chris Race from Jefferson Sheard Architects will discuss designing environments to support rehabilitation.
Our colleagues from our centre in York, Dr Miles Rogish, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Dr Thomas Elanjithara, Consultant Neuropsychiatrist, will conclude the day with an overview of how all these principles have been integrated into our unique clinical approach.
Delegates can tour the building at the end of the day.
While it’s fair to say that we’re biased, the Neurological Centre York is very impressive and well worth a tour!
Brainkind has developed the Neurological Centre York through years of working with the local community across North England and beyond. Our original partnership with The Retreat has influenced the history of the service.
The Retreat pioneered compassionate care, focusing on Quaker-based ethical beliefs around kindness, care, and dignity for the individual.
This has led to a longstanding relationship with local commissioning teams and providers who are looking for services that offer a safe setting for rehabilitation with people who have an acquired brain injury and have complex care needs and neuropsychiatric presentations.
There are still some places left. Click here to book and join us for this exciting day.
We would like to thank Irwin Mitchell for sponsoring the conference.
