BSRM news

This page covers news relating to the British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine. It complements the official BSRM website here; the official website will be updated sometime, and this page will then become redundant. In the meantime, it carries items that I am aware of.

BSRM – NICE work

Members of the BSRM are involved in responding, on behalf of the Society, to many national consultation documents and in contributing to national working groups. There are several NICE groups we are contributing to:

  • NICE: Rehabilitation for Chronic Neurological Disorders Including Traumatic Brain Injury (here); Dr Lloyd Bradley
  • NICE: COVID-19 rapid guideline: managing the long-term effects of COVID-19 (here). An ongoing review; Dr Margaret Phillips
  • NICE: Rehabilitation after traumatic injury (here); Dr Laura Graham
  • NICE: Stroke Rehabilitation in Adults (here); Dr Sara Ajina
  • NICE: Head injury: assessment and early management (here); Dr Krystyna Walton

For a small society, to be actively engaged in developing five different sets of NICE guidance takes a significant resource.

BSRM working parties

This is an incomplete list of active working parties. They include:

  • Community Rehabilitation; Dr Judith Allanson
