Training & Education subgroup
Training and education is vital to delivering a high quality service in order to optimise patient potential and experience of the service.
Training and education is a subgroup of the Clinical Effectiveness Group and is chaired by Dr Bhaskar Basu (Neuro-Rehabilitation Consultant and Clinical Lead at Trafford General Hospital Intermediate Neuro Rehabilitation Unit). The group includes NHS staff from different professional groups, involved with neuro-rehabilitation at different points of the pathway such as acute, post-acute and in the community. The group held its first meeting in May 2016, and meets every 2 months to take forward a plan of work.
