On Tuesday, 17th November 2026, Clinical Neuropsychologist, Dr Brian Waldron will deliver a talk for family members and carers who would like to better understand how an acquired brain injury can affect the way their loved one thinks, remembers and manages everyday tasks.

Changes in memory, concentration, planning or problem-solving can be difficult to make sense of. A loved one might lose track of a conversation, need longer to take in information or find it harder to organise a familiar task. The session will explore what these changes can look like in daily life and how rehabilitation strategies can help.

During the talk we’ll look at practical ways to support a loved one at home and in the community, such as using reminders, building predictable routines and breaking tasks into manageable steps. We’ll also explore how to offer support while giving your loved one space to do what they can independently.

The talk will take place online via Zoom at 11am and it is facilitated by Dolores Gallagher.
