We kick started the first MDT B6 supervision. The topic was based on the role of the Cerebellum. What a way to get our 'little brain' working! Thanks to our ACP Sam on arranging. We look forward to future joint MDT supervision.A great opportunity for Interprofessional learning!

Members of the therapy team completed a day of very insightful training looking into understanding behavioural changes after brain injury. We look forward to making positive changes! #strokerehab #braintreetraining
