@AnnAllister1 @UKABIF @CarpentersGroup @CzarinaKirk @PitmanIvan @JackieCDean @Karenaddy18 Fantastic day at the Ukabif Summit 2023, really great programme of presentations, so glad to be there - always things to learn!

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@madanpanks @AnnAllister1 It was a joint effort, great working with a specialist solicitor Ann, good teamwork.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@AnnaWatkiss @Mark_HollowayHF @BABICMorg @VickiGilman @ExchangeC Hope we have started a discussion that will change the prospects for the brain injured. I am sure we need to work with deputies to prove that the crisis in recruitment of support workers is country wide!

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@AnnAllister1 Great day for you both, well deserved and well done Chris and Lisa.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@VickiGilman Totally agree Vicki, it must be so worrying for all those with care packages in place and struggling to find recruits to the team and to pay for them.have emailed you.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@gabyvparker @UkabifN @CarrollCliodhna Those are great topics Gaby would you be a speaker for us?

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@UkabifN shame we ran out of time debating issues raised in the two great talks from Dr Czarina Kirk and Dr Ivan Pitman. Finding the right placement for rehab of SBI clients with addiction problems is so hard!

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@AnnAllister1 Wow great sunset great location very special, happy new year to you both.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@Mark_HollowayHF @DanielJHerman @VickiGilman Could you let me know the agency please Mark, evidence of rate changes is vital.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@UKABIF @sajidjavid @GillianKeegan @RhonddaBryant The Government will be judged by its actions not words, we expect results!

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@RhonddaBryant great interview Chris with Nick Robinson should inspire youngsters to become MPs.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@UKABIF @RhonddaBryant Congratulations Chris great result, you have really made a difference from which those with ABI will benefit, thankyou. Well done to all your supporters too!

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@NeuroAlliance Thanks to Amanda for her point today in my talk about problems that occur in rehab re the need to inform more the Police about the consequences of ABI.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@KevinCrossCM @BABICMorg Thanks Kevin, love to work with you again sometime, we only get the difficult cases, but we like that Kevin don’t we?

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@RWWCaseManagers @BABICMorg Was delighted to be asked to speak to the professionals who know what rehab is about, thanks for the support. GM.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

Ppos cannot meet the need, contingency lump sums don’t meet the need, we need the right to return for a further award once the cost of the solution significantly.outpaces the need.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

I presented a Webinar on amputee compensation claims today with @PaceRehab. It raised the failings of the legal system re inability to keep up with the cost of scientific advances in prosthetics. Thoughts? #prosthetics #Englishlegalsystem #disability

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@DanielJHerman Unbelievable, doesn’t augur well for a sensible outcome!

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@aawguide Well done your mum, you must be very proud of her, I hope my wife does that for me, partial to tangfastics myself.

[Gerard Martin KC @qc_gerard]

@gilfred12345 @aawguide @ExchangePI I thought it was a useful reminder to listen and put yourself in their position, we often are not great at that.
