BABICM 2019 Crisis, What Crisis?

There is no need to make a drama out of the crisis of brain injury… but there is a need to make a song and dance about avoiding crisis from the outset.

And that is why this year’s conference hosted by the British Association of Brain Injury Case Managers (BABICM) is all about ‘Crisis? What Crisis?’

Medico-legal experts will be putting their own spins on the answer to that one, as well as offering tips on spotting, avoiding and managing crisis situations.

And since Krysalis is keen to create crisis-free zones, we’ll be attending too! Members of our team will be at the event for both days offering advice and our OT expertise for the most complex of cases.

Topics at the event at the Vox Conference Centre in Birmingham on June 25/26 will include:

  • the relationship between case managers and The Court of Protection
  • financial abuse
  • clinically-assisted nutrition, and
  • preventing and managing problem behaviour in the community.

  • I was knocked off my bicycle by a car and suffered a head injury. I could never have imagined the consequences of this and the impact that it would go on to have on my own and my family's lives.

  • I feel there is a veil over my face; a haze, a fog, something that is stopping me. The world is moving faster round me.

  • I haven’t run since this happened…… and with my reduced balance, I have visions of me falling over and ending up back where I started!

  • Mathilda is my dog and I feel very sad when she sits by me and puts her head on my lap. I can’t take her for walks.
