While cutting-edge equipment has transformed what’s possible\, specialist therapy remains essential. Neither is enough on its own—but when neurotherapists and rehabilitation technology are integrated effectively\, the impact is transformative. Patients engage more\, recovery is more efficient\, and long-term outcomes improve. \nSo how do we ensure technology enhances\, rather than distracts from\, expert therapy? And how can MDTs and service providers put this into practice? \nJoin Michelle Kudhail\, Clinical Director of Resilience Neuro Specialists and neurophysiotherapist with over 33 years of experience\, and Chris Morden\, neurotechnology expert and Director at Ectron and Resilience\, who has spent over 15 years helping rehabilitation providers implement innovative neurotechnology. \nThis discussion will explore: \nSuccessful integration – ensuring technology supports and enhances skilled therapy \n Practical strategies for engagement – helping therapists and rehab teams make the most of neurotechnology \nEmerging innovations – what’s available now and what’s on the horizon \nWalk away with real-world strategies to bring the best of both worlds into your own practice. \n\n\n\nSession 3: Medical cannabis and neuro-rehab – a bright new future? \nWith Professor Mike Barnes\, Founder of the World Federation of Neurorehabilitation and the UK’s leading medical cannabis expert. \nLearn about specific neurological condition-related applications\, how to approach patient/family requests for access and the outlook for medical cannabis in NR. \n\n\n\nSession 4: Skills and the future of work in neuro-rehab \nWith Maggie Sargent\, Owner and Founder of Maggie Sargent & Associates and Community Case Management Services \nAND \nEky Popat\, Operations Director and Registered Manager of BIS Services \nHow to: \nPrevent talent shortages from holding back NR’s progress\nManage skills challenges\nDevelop the team your organisation needs to meet patient / client demand. \n3.30pm: Networking / coffees

SUMMARY:Managing Behaviours that Challenge in Individuals with a Brain Injury: The Positive Behaviour Support Approach
DESCRIPTION:This one-day course will be held in person at the RHN and is open to anyone working with individuals with a brain injury who want to increase their skills and knowledge of managing behaviours that challenge. \nIt offers a theoretical and practical introduction to the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approach.
