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.

There is NO state of the Art. I haven't seen one piece of evidence that anything in stroke works at all.

1. Only 10% of patients get to full recovery.
2. tPA only fully works to reverse the stroke 12% of the time. Known since 1996.
3. No protocols to prevent your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
4. Nothing to alleviate your fatigue.
5. Nothing that will cure your spasticity.
6. Nothing on cognitive training unless you find this yourself.
7. No published stroke protocols.
8. No way to compare your stroke hospital results vs. other stroke hospitals.

THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF MEDICINE

13^th October 2017 

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
Preventative 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.

This Conference is for Public and Professionals. All interested patients, families and carers – and those who are involved in the care or rehabilitation of stroke patients. Doctors (general practitioners, stroke and rehabilitation specialists, general physicians, neurologists and more), nurses, physiotherapists and physical therapists, occupational therapists, and those involved in sports and exercise science. All grades (from trainee onwards) are so welcome.
Seats will be allocated  on first come, first served basis and will be going very very quickly! Chef’s Choice Hot-Fork Lunch, Teas/Coffees, Biscuits & Fresh Fruit Salad are included in the seat price.
