Training
The Foundation has three training resources for professionals:
Educational implications of acquired brain injury

It is designed to help commissioners and providers of health and social care services to meet the information needs of people with long-term neurological conditions.Communication skills training
The Communication Skills training course was free and open to health and social care professionals working with older people with neurological conditions.Participants on the course learnt about a range of communication strategies that they can apply in their day to day work with older people with neurological conditions. A free toolkit containing practical tips was distributed as part of the course.
