This week I attended the Acquired Brain Injury Reception to meet my constituent, Steph Grant, who is a brain injury survivor and Chair of the Head Injury and Homelessness Research Group (HIHRG) in Sheffield. The Research Group supports brain injury survivors to conduct research and regularly delivers brain injury awareness training, across the country and particularly Sheffield. We also met with Steph’s colleague from the Research Group, Dr Alistair Atherton.
Brain Injuries affect over 300,000 people every year but the level of specialist care and rehabilitation is currently inadequate and hugely variable. We urgently need a strategy to improve outcomes for those with Acquired Brain Injury. I look forward to supporting the work of the Research Group wherever I can.
