Wonderful evening and day at the brilliant @UKABIF summit. Proud to share our @PaedNeuropsyNUH@BRILLTeamNUH work as part of the poster session, and as always, so lovely to catch up with lots of friends and colleagues and so many inspiring people #UKABIFSummit24#ABI
UKABIF had a really successful conference at #IPBIS2024 International Conference on Paediatric Acquired brain Injury in Glasgow last week.
The Acquired Brain Injury Justice Network presented the Lord Ramsbotham Memorial Lecture, introduced by our co chair Professor Nathan Hughes with presentations from Professor Tom McMillan and Liam Dorris. Our thanks to Hope Kent who organised this session for us.
The National Acquired Brain Injury in Learning & Education Syndicate (N-ABLES) ran a symposium ‘Nothing about us with out us’ featuring Rachel Keetley Shannon Scratch, Jennifer Lundine, Edel Jannecke Svendsen, introduced by our fabulous group of young experts by experience in acquired brain injury (YEBEABI). Our enormous thanks to them and also to Charlotte Giblin Gemma Costello and @EmBennett78 who did all the heavy work organising this session.
Finally Eleanor Bryant presented her work exploring educators understand of acquired brain injury.
It has been a great experience being part of the local organising committee, chaired by Liam Dorris working alongside Beth Wicks Katie Byard Gemma Costello @EmBennett78 Gerard Anderson Lisa Turan Lorna Wales and Stacey Dodd.
And fabulous to reconnect with friends, colleagues and supporters including all of the above and Dr Penny Trayner Huw Williams Andrew McGowan amongst many others!

@UKABIF
Our Young People's Advisory Group feel that educational professionals need to know...
"It's not one size fits all, I'm me"
"When you go back into school, you need a package that's just for you"
"When you have an ABI, you get thrust into a medical world of confusing words"
Our Young Expert's Advisory Group attended the @irwinmitchell Conference on July 4th, sharing their journey towards independence and advice on supporting the return to education post-ABI!
This week we will be sharing some of our favourite insights from the talk, stay tuned...
Our Young Expert's Advisory Group feel that independence in education is...
"Independence for me in my education journey was having a voice"
"I have learned that asking for help is a form of independence"
@irwinmitchell@UKABIF
Our Young Expert's Group regarded that educational professionals could aid independence by...
"When you have an ABI everyone tells you what you need, why don't you stop and ask the person"
