Brain Injury Group webinar events
The Coronavirus pandemic that began in March 2020 necessitated a change in working and learning.
No longer could participants attend our brain injury training events in person so instead we started to develop a library of webinar recordings and training. Whilst our in-person training events are back, our online Brain Injury Group brain injury training webinars have been hugely popular and so we have started this webinar collection.
You can view the recently recorded on-demand webinars below.
