Community Case Management

Some of our clients had a marvellous day out in Brighton on Friday, basking in glorious sunshine, exploring the UK’s oldest aquarium and playing games on the city’s famous pier. We are keen to do more and more of these kind of day’s out so would welcome suggestions for our next adventures! 

Mark McIntosh just completed an inspiring feat- a 250km foot race through the driest desert in the world, covering 25-30km per day for 2 weeks all while sleeping under the stars! Massive congratulations to Mark for conquering such an incredible challenge with grit and determination! When he is not pushing his physical limits, Mark is an exceptional Physio and Case Manager and we are sure these things are linked. https://lnkd.in/fnJ4MJi

Nicola Cale presented the Bird family with this wonderful canvas to commemorate their time on the Ski Trip this year! Here's to many more adventures!

One of Amy Barber's former clients, Jake Cooper, has set up his own business to help others recover from Traumatic Brain Injury's- drawing from his own experiences in Rehab and Physio.

Lucy Naven kindly shared some wisdom on the transformative effect of Specialist Training in complex care. Lucy also shines a light on the role of BABICM and Institute of Registered Case Managers "in promoting excellence within complex care". A great article in our series of reflective pieces! https://lnkd.in/dP4KA5Ja

Luke, one of our clients, has been making the most of the Continental weather we've been blessed with. The Tricycle is wicked and such a simple adaptive tool!

Transforming Transitions: From Reactive Problem-Solving to Proactive Empowerment Gabriella Cussell's article, in the first of our series of Thought Pieces, offers a fascinating perspective shift for client journeys. From re-framing clients in terms of their strengths rather than perceived weaknesses and helping clients embrace new identities, Gabby sheds light on associated vocational & educational challenges.  There is even some comment on the implications of this perspective shift for Litigation. Gabby is both a Psychologist and BABICM registered Case Manager leaving her well placed to dive into this subject. https://lnkd.in/dfMKjP4s

Amanda Batchelor shared this lovely headshot with us recently along with some inspiring developments from a client of hers:  "As of 2023, my client has successfully established and continues to run her own dog grooming business. She lives independently with full mental capacity. Despite experiencing further traumatic events, she remains resolute in setting new and inspirational goals for herself each year. This year, she intends to learn Spanish, move home, and undertake independent international travel." It's brilliant to hear such stories of resilience in action! Life's for living!

Yesterday's meeting and training was cheerful- this time it was the Northern Hub's time to shine and share ideas! Claire Wright Maggie Sargent Louise halliday Kay Giddings Emma Gordon Faz Rauf Nicola Simpson Amy Barber Kate Russell Rose Farren

This years Ski Trip was the best one yet, with buckets of snow and pockets of sunshine, a big thanks to everyone who made it happen- Oxygène Ski & Snowboard School, Support Workers & Families! The group was largely trip first-timers which is always special, including two sets of identical twins to add to the mix! Roll on the next adventure! Maggie Sargent & Associates
