Attendees will also have the opportunity to be interviewed on film by the NR Times editorial team, with their insights later shared online and in upcoming digital editions.

Session 1: Insights from the National Rehabilitation Centre

Find out about the referrals network opportunities, approaches, challenges and aims of the NRC.

Session 2: Building the Rehabilitation Pathway of the Future: Bringing Technology and Expert Therapy Together

Neurorehabilitation achieves its best outcomes when advanced technology and expert therapists work in unison. 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.

So how do we ensure technology enhances, rather than distracts from, expert therapy? And how can MDTs and service providers put this into practice?

Join 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.

This discussion will explore:

Successful integration – ensuring technology supports and enhances skilled therapy

 Practical strategies for engagement – helping therapists and rehab teams make the most of neurotechnology

Emerging innovations – what’s available now and what’s on the horizon

Walk away with real-world strategies to bring the best of both worlds into your own practice.
