In our last Stewarts Soundbites for September, we were delighted to welcome Consultant Neuropsychologist Dr Donald Brechin as our special guest speaker for episode 4 of our Soundbites series.
Dr Brechin spoke about how individuals impacted by traumatic brain injury have coped from a psychological perspective throughout the different stages of lock down and what the challenges will be as we now emerge from it and establish a “new normal”.
