The National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) continues to build its leadership team with the appointment of its first Medical Lead, Mr Andrew Taylor.
I joined the University of Nottingham just a few months ago, taking on the role of Engagement Co-ordinator to support the University’s involvement in developing the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC), and already I can tell the NRC is going to be a pretty special place.
There is a lot of great work going on to develop new healthcare technologies. The National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) and its Rehab Technologies Network+ is doing a fantastic job at bringing experts together to explore increasing the use of technology in rehabilitation to help get people back to fitness and function faster following serious injury or illness. One area I’m specifically interested in is telerehabilitation, which involves the remote delivery of rehabilitation services using telecommunication devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
As we come to the end of 2022, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been a busy and significant year for the programme, and look ahead to what’s to come in 2023.
The NRC has announced its first Director of Operations – Sandy Walsh.
Sandy has been instrumental in the development and work of the NRC Programme and played a leading role in bringing the Outline Business Case (OBC) and Full Business Case (FBC) forward.
Integrated Health Projects (IHP), a joint venture between Vinci Construction UK and Sir Robert McAlpine, have been appointed as the NRC programme's construction partner.
Early and enabling works to prepare the site are now underway in readiness for the main works to start in 2023 once the full business case has had ministerial approval. More detail on those works are set out in the site newsletters:
