Keeping It Fresh

15th November, Edgbaston Cricket Stadium

Learning how a rehabilitation service, be it an acute or community service, or a SEN service, improves therapy outcomes, is essential for various reasons. Not only is it needed to provide evidence-based data to illustrate the impact and value or a service, the nature of the outcomes can provide significant comfort and reassurance to therapy or education team; and of course, the person in need of a rehabilitation service or SEN and their family.
