Unlocking Better Care 🧠 In our animation, we delve into the complexities of diagnosing brain-related problems. From overlapping symptoms to misdiagnoses, the current medical system often falls short ❌ But at Brain & Mind, we're rewriting the script. By integrating neurology, neuropsychiatry, and neurological therapies, we ensure every patient receives personalised care and the right diagnosis. Together, we're crafting tailored solutions for optimal recovery. If you want to know more, send us a message! #rehabilitation #braininjury #fnd #parkinsons #dementia #multidisciplinaryapproach

A patient with Parkinson’s disease successfully received deep brain stimulation (DBS) at The Wellington Hospital this week for a severe movement disorder. This is a real landmark in our commitment to providing access to the very latest brain surgery technologies. A potentially life-changing therapy, DBS treats Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonia by delivering electrical signals to precise areas of the brain from an implanted pacemaker. Mr Erlick Pereira, Consultant Neurosurgeon, led the pioneering surgery on 14th May in The Wellington Hospital’s state-of-the-art operating theatre, with its modern visualisation suite, including intra-operative MRI and CT. Using a minimally invasive surgical technique, with little to no hair removal, Mr Pereira made a two-centimetre incision in the scalp and two-millimetre hole in the skull. He applied titanium mini-plates to avoid unsightly bulges, carrying out the procedure in under an hour. The expert multi-disciplinary team also included consultant neurologists, Professor Francesca Morgante and Professor Mark Edwards; neuropsychiatrist, Dr Mike Dilley and neuroanaesthetist, Dr Audrey Tan. The treatment forms part of The Wellington Hospital’s comprehensive functional neurosurgery and neurorehabilitation service for patients with movement disorders, pain, brain and spinal injuries – including progressive neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease. A special thank you to Boston Scientific, Brainlab, and Brain & Mind ltd for their assistance in completing this historic case. #HCAHealthcareUK #Parkinsons #DeepBrainStimulation

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting our first medicolegal training day for some of our associates at the Irwin Mitchell offices in London. 📑 It was incredibly insightful and helpful for everyone to be able to discuss the medicolegal process so openly among clinical experts, solicitors and barristers. 👨⚖️ Special mention to Dr David Okai for taking part in the mock trial and for dealing so well with the pressure that was very real! A huge thanks to Debbie Eaton, Sofie Toft, Sarah Griggs from Irwin Mitchell, Stephen Cottrell, Robert Hunter and Christopher Walker from Devereux Chambers for sharing their knowledge and time. We will definitely be doing this again... anyone interested in taking part, please let us know!

More incredible work being carried out by Vanessa Raymont & Ivan Koychev 🔬 This five-year project aims to revolutionise diagnosis and treatment, offering hope for earlier intervention and access to new treatments. Let's support this vital initiative! #DementiaResearch #BloodTestTrial #Alzheimerresearch #Alzheimer #dementia https://lnkd.in/enkn32re

🌟 We're very proud of the work that Mike Dilley (our co-director), Prof Khalida Ismail and our associates, Dr David Okai and Dr Raymont, are carrying out in the NHS. Following a US study that suggested early use of antidepressants post-injury may prevent depression, they are now leading a large UK trial aiming to validate this. We are looking forward to seeing the results! 🧠 - More information here: https://lnkd.in/dVpFfTWa #BrainInjuryResearch #MentalHealthSupport 💪 https://lnkd.in/eZXTU2C5

🧠 #BrainAwarenessWeek: Empowering Lives through Neurorehabilitation 🧠 This Brain Awareness Week, we want to raise awareness of the profound impact of neurological symptoms, and the crucial role of neurorehabilitation in rebuilding lives. At Brain & Mind, we are committed to providing specialised care and support for individuals facing these challenges. Our neurorehabilitation programme focuses on personalised treatment plans, specialist therapies, and a compassionate team dedicated to guiding people on their journey to recovery. Why Raise Awareness? ‼️Neurological conditions can happen to anyone, at any time‼️ Raising awareness is the first step towards breaking down the stigma, fostering understanding, and ensuring that those affected receive the support they need. By sharing knowledge, we contribute to a more inclusive and informed community. 🤝 The Importance of Right Support Navigating life with neurological symptoms requires not just medical and rehabilitation expertise but also emotional and social support. We believe in a holistic approach that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of recovery equally, in an integrated way. Our goal is to empower people to regain independence, confidence, and a meaningful quality of life. 👥 Join the Movement This Brain Awareness Week, let's unite in our efforts to start conversations around brain health. Together, we can make a difference by fostering a community that understands, supports, and advocates for those affected by neurological conditions. Thank you for being part of our mission to transform lives through neurorehabilitation. #BrainAwareness #NeuroRehabilitation #EmpowerThroughCare #BrainHealthMatters #CommunitySupport #BrainInjury #neurology #neuropsychiatry #therapies
