Emma works "exclusively on behalf of claimants in medical negligence cases, helping people bring claims against NHS Trusts, GPs and private practitioners and has a varied caseload including cases involving amputations, spinal injury and brain injury."

Sheri Taylor (dietician) at Specialist Nutrition Rehab.

Richard Langton Secretary of Birmingham & Solihull Headway & Becky Wenham - their head of services will present a session about Headway’s support for Midlands based people with an ABI.

Chloe Hayward - UKABIF Chloe is the Executive Director of the United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum. Chloe helped to reinstate the All-Party Parliamentary Group in 2017 and has since worked closely with the Chair and members of the group to use every opportunity to raise awareness of acquired brain injury in Westminster. She also oversees special interest groups in criminal justice and education and works with the Community Rehabilitation Alliance and the Neurological Alliance on joint issues to improve access to services for people with acquired brain injuries.

A small raffle will be held in aid of UKABIF - so bring your wallet/purse!!

All this and an opportunity to network with individuals across a wide range of disciplines and pathways - this is an ideal opportunity to tell people what you do, share best practice and build contacts as well as hear great speakers. Light refreshments available.

All this for free - yes I know its amazing.. but what we would ideally like you to do is register as a member of UKABIF. A national charity which believes that by bringing together all parties with an interest in ABI we have a stronger voice. https://ukabif.org.uk/general/pick_username.asp
