We have carried out more than 20 different research and service improvement projects since 2008 and published and presented our work in many different health and social care conferences across the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and the US.
We have projects in stroke, traumatic brain injury, acute trauma, and other long term conditions.
We have a number of publications relating to our research and development and have presented our work at numerous national and International conferences.
But primarily Bridges exists to make a difference to the lives of people who live with long-term conditions, by working with teams from health, social care and the third sector, to define and deliver best practice in self-management support.
