A Rehabilitation Journey: Steve’s story

Resources and key information

The conference explores the story of ‘Steve’, who suffered life-changing injuries after being hit by a car on his walk home. Following his journey from accident through rehabilitation and the future.

Beginning with accident reconstruction, we first look at what happened to Steve at the time of impact and assess his injuries. We then move on to emergency care, treatment and diagnosis, before determining Steve’s rehabilitation and assessment needs. The session ends looking at planning for the future and exploring what Steve’s life may look like post-settlement.
