Qualified as an occupational therapist in 1987, Heather Batey joined the Leeds Head Injury Team in 1992 after extensive experience in psychiatric day hospitals and neuro-rehabilitation within the NHS. She has several years of local authority experience, developing and implementing programmes for physically disabled clients and their carers. She played a key role in the three year Nuffield funded project into the needs of head-injured clients in their own environments, co-ordinating service delivery and developing and implementing therapy programmes. From 1992 to 1995 she was a member of the Leeds Head Injury Team, working with home-based clients to develop personal skills, regain independence and improve social behaviour, leading them in all aspects of self-care and home management through to their return to employment. In 1994 she was selected by the 1994 World Conference of Occupational Therapy to present an account of her important work with the Team at Leeds. Over the past 10 years she has founded and developed reach personal injury services limited. She has presented at nationwide conferences and submitted articles on the effectiveness of brain injury rehabilitation to claimant and defence solicitors, in addition to insurers. |
