All the best for the future @RachWilliamson0 - from everyone at the DNRC Programme
After 4 years, today was my last day working at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre Stanford Hall. As an ex-patient, DMRC has helped me not only to adapt with a lifelong injury, but to have a career as a veteran.   1/5 @dms_dmrc @PoppyLegion #NewJob

Good rehab after serious injury is like a relay race. We’ve got world class lead-off runners but can do more in handing over the baton & excelling over the full distance. Read Sandy Walsh's piece on how the #NRC can improve pathways: bit.ly/3g7fYqS #rehabilitationmatters
