Calling Speakers for the Headway Huddersfield & District 4th Study Day 2027
Headway Huddersfield & District is excited to announce that planning is now underway for our 2027 Brain Injury Conference, taking place on Wednesday 29 September 2027.
The theme for the conference will be:
Beyond the Injury
Looking at life after brain injury and focusing on possibilities rather than limitations
Every brain injury journey is unique. While the challenges associated with brain injury are often discussed, we believe it is equally important to explore what comes next. Recovery, adaptation, achievement, relationships, employment, independence, community involvement, and personal growth are all important parts of life beyond injury.
Our 2027 study day aims to bring together a wide range of voices to share experiences, knowledge, research, and practical insights that can help shape a more positive and informed understanding of life after brain injury.
We Are Looking for Speakers
We are now inviting expressions of interest from individuals and organisations interested in speaking at the conference.
We would particularly like to hear from:
Healthcare professionals and clinicians
Neuropsychologists and rehabilitation specialists
Researchers and academics
Health and social care practitioners
Community organisations and support providers
Employers and vocational rehabilitation specialists
Individuals with lived experience of brain injury
Family members and carers willing to share their perspectives
Whether you can offer evidence-based research, practical approaches, professional expertise, or a personal story that inspires others, we would love to hear from you.
Exploring Life Beyond Brain Injury
The conference will explore a broad range of topics related to life after brain injury, including:
Rehabilitation and long-term recovery
Mental health and emotional wellbeing
Employment and returning to work
Relationships, family life, and social connections
Independent living and community participation
Innovation, technology, and accessibility
Sport, leisure, and wellbeing
Advocacy and reducing stigma
Personal journeys and lived experience
Our goal is to create a programme that informs professionals, supports families, empowers survivors, and encourages meaningful discussion about the opportunities and possibilities that can exist beyond brain injury.
Why Get Involved?
By speaking at the conference, you will have the opportunity to:
Share valuable knowledge and experience
Influence conversations around brain injury support and recovery
Connect with professionals, survivors, family members, and supporters
Help challenge misconceptions and promote positive outcomes
Inspire others through your work, research, or lived experience
We believe that bringing together diverse perspectives is one of the most effective ways to improve understanding and create positive change.
