The South West Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Forum brings together professionals, researchers, clinicians, and organisations working across the ABI pathway to share knowledge, strengthen collaboration, and improve outcomes for people affected by brain injury.

Across three meetings in 2026, the forum will provide an opportunity to hear from expert speakers, explore emerging research and policy developments, and engage in meaningful discussion with colleagues from across health, social care, education, rehabilitation, and the voluntary sector.

The final meeting of the year will focus on education and outcomes for children with ABI.

Dr Hope Kent will present on educational outcomes for children with acquired brain injury, exploring the challenges many children face following brain injury and how education systems can better support their learning, development, and long-term outcomes.

A second speaker will be announced soon.
