We need an #NHS which recognises that a #neurocondition causes physical changes to mental functioning/processes of #neuropatients such as cognitive function; that altered state will play havoc with an individual’s mind, then that may worsen the mental functioning!
We hope to have the digital posters from #ComplexNeuro19 on our website next week.
Great to have GP representation at #mhneuroleaders panel discussion on ‘Equpping the NHS workforce for a future of integration’. Please can a future event include #AHP representation - a key member of the workforce in supporting #mentalhealth of people with a neuro condition.
Having @sarahvibert82 from @NeuroAlliance helps us get the message out that #neuropatients are integral to a stronger #neurocommunity. Let’s build it together @Commtherapy @ACPIN_UK @theRCOT @RCSLT @RCPLondon @theABN_Info @BDA_Dietitians @theRCN @NHSuk
Great day at the @communityneuro event in Birmingham. Meeting NHS and Private Therapists in #stroke, #abi and #tbi. There’s raising “awareness” and there’s raising solutions... @ACPIN_UK @WaltonCentre @ASLTIP_UK @LG_NHS
