Unveiling our first-ever NR Times Awards

Welcome to issue 28 of NR Times - an issue where we are very excited to bring you the first-ever NR Times Awards.

I regularly talk in my Editor’s Note about how inspired we are at NR Times about the work being done in neuro-rehab to change the future for countless people who live with neurological illness or injury.

The innovation, commitment and determination we write about every day really do leave us feeling so inspired. Being able to tell the stories of the amazing work of the individuals, teams and organisations who are truly helping to redefine what is possible is such a privilege; but we wanted to find other ways to highlight this, too.

Creating the NR Times Awards felt like an apt way to do this. Through our 12 categories, we hoped to reflect the excellence being seen across the entire field of neuro-rehab, and to shine a light on each entrant and learn more about the work they do.

Already, way in advance of the deadline of August 31, entries have been flooding in both from nominees themselves, and from those making submissions on behalf of others - this is something we particularly welcome, as we understand that many feel they are ‘just doing their jobs’. But to us, their phenomenal contribution is wholly worthy of recognition, so we would urge anyone to make submissions for those who may not do so themselves.

Our grateful thanks go to the sponsors of our first-ever NR Times Awards, without whom this would not be happening.

As our headline sponsor, and also a category sponsor, special thanks go to Elysium Healthcare.

Thanks too to our valued partners in the awards - Askham Rehab; BIS Services; Breakthrough Case Management; Chroma, Embrace HR; Iris Care Group; Irwin Mitchell; Morrello Clinics; Reach; Think Therapy 1st and TRU Rehab.

We are delighted with the response we have seen so far and are grateful for the support we have had. Please continue to make your nominations, we look forward to receiving them and reviewing them with our expert judging panel.

The Awards, established this year as an annual search for the individuals, groups and initiatives whose contribution to neuro-rehab is helping to enhance patient outcomes and bring new levels of hope for the future.

The NR Times Awards have 12 categories open for nomination, with submissions sought from across the UK and internationally to recognise the innovation, dedication and leadership of those working in this vital branch of healthcare. Nominations can be made until the deadline of August 31. The winners will be announced at an online ceremony on October 26. The Awards, which are sponsored by Elysium Healthcare, seek to recognise the significant contributions of those working throughout the field of neuro-rehab; from those carrying out the research behind life-changing innovations, to those delivering care and support on the frontline, and everything in between. An independent panel of judges will decide the winner of 11 categories, with the Rehab Leader of the Year accolade determined by a public vote.
