Research Interests
Warwick Neurorehabilitation is led by Prof Diane Playford. The group is set up in partnership with the Central England Rehabilitation Unit at South Warwickshire Foundation Trust. The aim is to develop and evaluate rehabilitation interventions for people with neurological disability, particularly those with acquired brain injury. Diane's interests include rehabilitation processes and outcomes including goal setting, and vocational rehabilitation. She is also Research Director at the Royal Hospital for Neurodisability where she has established a Brain Injury Research Group undertaking research into people with profound disability.
