The Rehabilitation, Spinal Cord Injury and Brain Injury Rehabilitation Networks held a combined, full-day virtual forum on 2 August, attended by more than 500 clinicians, managers, researchers and consumers across NSW.
The theme for this year's forum was ‘Leaping Boundaries’ and focused on the care of patients with a spinal cord injury and/or brain injury in general rehabilitation facilities, and building the capability of clinicians to provide this care.
The event was officially opened by Dr Jean-Frederic Levesque, Deputy Secretary, Clinical Innovation and Research and Chief Executive, Agency for Clinical Innovation, and included a consumer story, two discussion panel sessions and 19 presentations.
Topics included robotics, Aboriginal health, in-reach rehabilitation, tele-psychiatry and person-centred rehabilitation planning.
