Welcome to the Recovery after Brain Injury: State of the Art Conference in association with the ARNI Institute and the UCL Institute for Sport, Exercise and Health at the prestigious Royal Society of Medicine, Wimpole Street, London.

About This Conference

An Introduction to the Royal Society of Medicine  300x156 - RECOVERY AFTER BRAIN INJURY: STATE OF THE ART - CONFERENCE 2017 - Stroke Rehabilitation and Exercise Training for Survivors & Specialist Stroke Courses for Therapists and Trainers, Online and Face to FaceRoyalSocietyMedicine logo 1 300x120 - RECOVERY AFTER BRAIN INJURY: STATE OF THE ART - CONFERENCE 2017 - Stroke Rehabilitation and Exercise Training for Survivors & Specialist Stroke Courses for Therapists and Trainers, Online and Face to FacePreventative measures mean that the incidence of stroke in the United Kingdom is falling. Nonetheless, one person has a stroke every 3½ minutes.  Further, the population is ageing, meaning that the background morbidity and frailty of those affected is changing. So, too, is the management of acute stroke: the creation of Hyperacute Stroke Units, and care pathways involving thrombolysis or mechanical clot recovery mean that outcome after stroke now differs too. Finally, our understanding of brain function is also progressing rapidly. For all of these reasons, historical stroke rehabilitation pathways and methods need to adapt. Likewise, traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains common: one person is admitted to hospital every 15 minutes. Every hour, two of these will be classified as ‘moderate or severe’.

From innovative interventions for patients with stroke and TBI to stem-cell research, advances in neuroimaging to navigated brain stimulation, this meeting will show how new advances in predicting outcomes, organisation of care pathways, treatment options and acceleration in the pace of technological advances now all hold a significant part of the key to better future treatments and recoveries from serious limitations resulting from stroke and TBI. A European assembly of research-active scientists, clinicians and practitioners will explain and demonstrate leading edge developments in management and treatment processes.

This Conference focuses on what ‘State of the Art’ Rehabilitation should look like after stroke or TBI- and what we can expect in the future.
