Trauma Rehabilitation Special Interest Group
The Trauma Rehabilitation Special Interest Group - TRsIG chaired by Dr Laura Graham in Newcastle upon Tyne was formed in 2016 (Contact: [email protected]). The steering committee aims to include regional representation and would be delighted to hear from members wishing to assist her in this role and/or who wish to contribute to the activities of the TRsIG. Please contact the BSRM office in the first instance.
The TRsIG developed core standards for trauma rehabilitation and continues to ensure that these are current.
