Brain Injury, Trauma and Loss

Brain Injury, Trauma and Loss tells the story of the impact of Covid-19 on neurorehabilitation. It offers a unique dual perspective as it intertwines the two voices of Sue Williams, who had sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2018, and Rudi Coetzer, her neuropsychologist during the pandemic.

Sue Williams is a Social- Psychologist and works as an applied researcher in environmental social science for a national government body. Sue sustained a traumatic brain injury in a cycling accident in 2018. She is now actively engaged in brain injury research projects and expert committees. Rudi Coetzer is a Consultant Neuropsychologist who has worked in senior clinical, academic and leadership roles within the NHS, universities, and charitable sectors of the UK.
