- Location Online
- Organised by Clinical Neurosciences
Infections affect the nervous system in very different ways giving neuroscience a constant stream of new problems to solve. Robin Howard, Consultant Neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and St Thomas' Hospital, will speak on the history of polio and how it set off a series of novel management technology and strategies. These are now part of our normal panoply of interventions in both epidemics and neuro-disability. Catherine Dalton, Consultant Neuro-rehabilitation at St George's Hospital, will consider what new issues we are seeing in patients after COVID-19 and what adaptation services are currently making. Key speakers will also discuss how this may play out with future innovations.
During this webinar delegates will:
- Learn about the history of polio
- See how the physical and respiratory problems required new approaches
- Understand why the population (in terms of numbers and ages) affected led to innovations in rehabilitation delivery
- Understand what problems COVID-19 is bringing to rehabilitation services now
- Consider how services need to develop to face this new challenge
