Testimonials
‘Our first year nursing students are currently undertaking a module exploring professional nursing practice which includes inclusivity and compassionate nursing. Paul from the P.A.U.L For Brain Recovery charity delivered a session to the whole cohort in which he was able to convey the human impact of a brain injury bringing to life the theory and allowing the students to link their new theoretical knowledge with practical experience. The session was inspiring, emotive and one which the student feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you again Paul for sharing your story and the amazing work of the charity.’
‘At least once a year Paul helps to deliver training on Acquired Brain Injury on our Doctorate programme, helping Trainee Clinical Psychologists better understand the nature and effects of brain injury from a truly personal and inspirational perspective. Every year the unanimously positive feedback identifies this session as a highlight of the training, reflecting the value that it holds in bringing the topic of life beyond acquired brain injury to life, helping trainees consider the part they could have in facilitating someone’s rehabilitation journey. Paul always finds the balance between delivering training in a professional and informative way whilst being approachable and personal, and is always keen to gain feedback and adapt the training to meet the adapting needs of the trainees. I have greatly valued the work of P.A.U.L For Brain Recovery, both in the capacity of supporting the academic learning of students, and in the support they deliver to those in the community who undoubtedly benefit from their service.’
