Congratulation to Dr Joanna Fletcher-Smith, Research Fellow from The University of Nottingham, School of Medicine, who was selected to take part in the International Workshop on Neuropsychological Rehabilitation of People with Acquired Brain Injury, hosted at the Universidade Federal do Parana, Brazil and funded by the Newton Fund.
Places on the workshop were highly competitive with only 12 UK and 12 Brazilian places available, and it's fantastic that The University of Nottingham's Division of Rehabilitation and Ageing were represented at the discussions.
