Very interesting event for any Nursing, Midwife or AHP (#NMAHP) clinical researchers out there. A real chance to develop a network in the East. This can only help improve outcomes, not only for #children after #headinjury but all people who access healthcare. #clinicalacademics

Just found the right twitter handle. Thank you so much @CBIT_Natalie it was fantastic to hear about your work.

Learning about the amazing work of @cbituk from Natalie. A vital link in the Eastern child brain injury pathway.

Listening to the wonderful Sri speaking about Post Traumatic Amnesia after brain injury. Concepts of perception and processing in the acute phase after brain injury. Such a difficult time for children and their families #abi

We are back!!!! Thursday 20th June please email us to book a space for an afternoon of free #CPD on #headinjury. We would love to see representation from all areas who work with children.

Thank you @ozcboss! For those who haven't met us yet we are the Eastern Children's Head Injury Network. Looking to bring together professional working with children after head injury in the eastern region and beyond. Look out for our next meeting at the end if November!

Another paper from the long term ECHIN collaborators @NIHRBrainMIC . Interesting insights into neonatal NICUs. Although separate to #child #ABI the challanges identified ring true in PICU as well. innovations.bmj.com/content/…

Interesting after our meeting on Tuesday. Oliver presenting data showing fatigue as the most common problem in children who attended a Brain injury clinic #abi xitter.cf/BrainInjuryHub/status/…

I think we can say a good day for ECHIN. Hopefully one of many. Keep in contact and watch out for our next meeting in the autumn. Hope to see you there!

Incidence of #ABI in children. This is an incredibly common problem. @cbituk

We are learning about Tracey's role as a child and family support worker for @cbituk her depth of knowledge on parenting in difficult situations is amazing

The amazing Tracey Bingham from @cbituk telling us about her work. We are so lucky to have her contributing to echin.

Reactions to trauma fight,fight or freeze.

Jane Whitfield cuh counsellor. Speaking about her work in an acute hospital setting.

Children of all ages have #abi but definately risk peaks. Under 1s and teenagers.

Oliver is up for round 2. Looking at demographics of children who attend a brain injury clinic

Great discussion about #sleep in #abi do we provide enough info on sleep hygiene? Does lack of sleep lead to other problems?

60% of families reported sleep and energy is the principle problem for their child. #child #ABI
