Happy Thursday everyone!

Exploring the future of neurorehabilitation! 🤖

Last month on the 17th of September, Charley from our team travelled to London to attend the Human-Centred AI Conference, hosted by BIS Services.

The conference brought together professionals working in neuro rehabilitation and brain injury to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the field. From practical guidance on AI in neuro rehabilitation to discussions around safeguarding and the developing brain, there was plenty to learn! 🧠

Charley came away with lots of new insights into how we can work alongside emerging technologies to continue developing and improving the support we offer our clients.

Lastly, thank you to BIS Services for hosting such an interesting and insightful event and for giving us the opportunity to attend. We're excited to explore how these developments could help shape the future of our services! 👏

Happy Wednesday everyone!

A little time to stretch, relax and unwind! 🧘‍♀️

Our clients enjoyed a chair yoga session with Rachel Rookwood, spending an hour practising gentle stretches and relaxation exercises to support strength and wellbeing.

Rachel was fantastic at guiding everyone through the movements, adapting the exercises to suit each person's needs and showing our clients how to work with their individual impairments. There were plenty of opportunities to take breaks whenever needed, making the session comfortable and accessible for everyone.

Our clients had some lovely feedback and found the session really beneficial! 😊

A huge thank you to Rachel for her time, care and encouragement. If you're looking for a gentle way to improve your movement, strength and wellbeing, chair yoga could be something to explore! ✨️

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Small steps towards better health and wellbeing!

Choose You came to visit us at Headway Bedford to talk to our clients about their smoking cessation and weight management programmes.

The team shared how their personalised support can help people make positive changes to their health and how these programmes may benefit clients during their brain injury recovery. There were lots of great questions, and some clients expressed an interest in signing up!

The visit ended with pledge cards, encouraging everyone to think about one change they'd like to make to improve their health. 📝

At Headway Bedford, we're committed to helping our clients make informed choices about their wellbeing and supporting them with the changes they wish to make.

A big thank you to Choose You for visiting us! 💙

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Making gaming more accessible!

We're excited to introduce Thumb Soldiers Ltd, a brand working to make video gaming more accessible for people living with conditions or disabilities.

Their specially designed controller attachments can help people with finger dexterity or grip strength difficulties use video game controllers more easily. The attachments clip securely onto controllers and are compatible with a wide range of consoles, making them easy to swap between different controllers when needed.

Headway Bedford has purchased a Thumb Soldiers kit, and we're now looking for clients who would be interested in trying it out! 🎮

If you enjoy gaming or would like to see whether these adaptations could make gaming more accessible for you, please let a member of staff know. We'll then organise a trial gaming session. 💙

A great opportunity to try something new and help us explore how accessible gaming could be part of life after brain injury!
