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 president’s monthly bulletins
Since December 2020, the BSRM President, John Burn has produced an e-bulletin most months. They are circulated by email. However, they can all be accessed on the web. The links are given here, most recent first:
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
- Nursing Home Rehabilitation standards; Dr John Burn
