Our Partners

In our first 5 years we have:

1. Funded groundbreaking, innovative research into new therapies and recovery programs. We have major initiatives with world class hospitals and universities and joined the World Health Organisation’s World Rehabilitation Alliance.

2. We have raised global awareness of how widespread brain injury really is. We have created a community of over 38,000 supporters, fundraisers, social media influencers, survivors and carers. We have received over 10,000 stories about your personal brain injury recovery, our Portraits.

3. Focused on the training of advanced brain injury nurses and developed nursing courses. We have commissioned a unique Masters degree education programme for advance level practitioners to address the holistic rehabilitation of the brain, body and spirit.

SameYou's work with University College London to develop NROL

NROL – Neurorehabilitation Online – is a pioneering group telerehabilitation programme for people with acquired brain injury.

Its aim is to provide additional group-based rehabilitation sessions for patients as an extra layer of support to help recovery and is delivered online under the care of therapists. It includes physical, talking and community groups for patients.

From this pilot with UCL, it has now been rolled out across 5 NHS Hospital Trusts in Lancashire. Work is underway to expand it further.
