Complex Injury Forum: Advances in rehabilitation and components

Overview

In the latest of our Complex Injury Forum series of webinars we focus on advances in both rehabilitation and components (prosthetics and orthotics). This is an area in which the pace of development is astonishing, and the options available for seriously injured people continually alter as a result.

We’ll be joined by Matthew Hughes, Managing Director / Prosthetist & Orthotist at Dorset Orthopaedic, to talk more about his work and the latest developments in this area of interest to insurers. Leanne Conisbee, Legal Director at Clyde & Co will chair the talk.

About the Complex Injury Forum

In 2019 we launched a series of live events and webinars giving insurers the opportunity to hear from and put their questions to leading experts in established and emerging areas of complex injury. Each session is chaired by a senior member of our nationally-renowned Catastrophic Injury and Large Loss team.
