Laura Webb is a research assistant at Swansea Metropolitan University, and is doing some research funded by the brain injury charity Cerebra. The study is looking into what it’s like to grow up with a brother or sister who has a brain-related condition, and Laura needs participants who would be happy to talk to her about their experiences. The information will hopefully be used to write an advice booklet for children who are currently growing up with brain injured siblings.
If you are over 18, have grown up with a sibling who has a brain-related condition, and are willing to participate in an informal, confidential interview then please get in touch. My email address is lwebb.117086@students.smu.ac.uk

UKABIF are keen to make members aware of the latest policy developments and get involved in consultations which relate to acquired brain injury. We would also like to really represent you and the people you treat or care for. It is a hard slog to read all those papers and work out how to talk to the Government and Department of Health departments so that they “get it”. But at UKABIF we have someone to do just that - at the moment that person is Amanda Swain and she’s all yours.....
Please do get in touch if you have any feedback after reading this article. Look forward to hearing from you! In this item we focus on our involvement with the Neurological Alliance National Policy Group.
The Neurological Alliance ( www.neural.org.uk ) What is this?
