Education Stream

An Education Stream is being introduced to this year’s Rebuilding Lives Conference, an exciting new addition designed to enhance the delegate experience and deepen learning opportunities.

What does this mean for delegates?
Alongside the mainstage programme, delegates will now have the option to attend a series of smaller, alternative breakout sessions. These sessions are educational in focus and have been carefully curated to provide in-depth learning across key areas, including:

  • Speech & Language Therapy
  • Skin Management
  • Bowel Management
  • Autonomic Dysreflexia

Each session is designed to support a greater understanding of the subject area, explore the real-life impact on individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI), and highlight how healthcare professionals (HCPs) can embed meaningful, practical change into their day-to-day practice.

This new education stream represents an exciting opportunity for delegates who wish to explore specific topics in more detail, broaden their clinical knowledge, and continue to amplify the experiences and challenges faced by the SCI community.

Please note places for these sessions will be limited. Further details about session topics and schedules will be shared in the lead-up to the conference, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates.
