It’s a unique opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to explore their work relating to disorders of consciousness (minimally conscious/vegetative state) resulting from acquired brain injury in children and youth.
Called "Children and youth with disorders of consciousness: Linking practice with research" the event is being held on Thursday 9th October in Tadworth, Surrey.
We’re excited to announce our keynote speaker is Ellen Romein, MSc. OT, France, in collaboration with the Department of Neuropediatrics, Schön Klinik Vogtareuth, Germany. She is the first author of the Remission Profile for children and adolescents after severe acquired brain injuries.
She’ll be joined by guest speakers Dr Rob Forsyth, Senior Lecturer at Newcastle University and Consultant Paediatric Neurologist, Great North Children's Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne; Dr Chris Kidson, Consultant in Paediatric Intensive Care, Royal Hospital for Sick Children; and Dr Neil Wimalasundera from Great Ormond Street Hospital.
