The Big Rehab Conversation
A series of Big Rehab Conversations was held with members in the summer of 2020, focusing on different rehabilitation areas and themes. The conversations will help us to set best practice for rehabilitation, identify the challenges and ensure that the advice we offer reflects what’s actually happening on the ground.
The following videos and overviews of the key themes provide a summary of each discussion.
