Editor's comment

For me, a new year always presents new focus, thoughts of what new challenges may await, what positive difference I can make both now and into the future. 

And in my role with NR Times, speaking to the most inspirational of people who are making such profound impact on the lives of so many, the positivity I have
always felt with the dawn of a new year is heightened further still. 

Again in this issue, we are privileged to share stories of those who truly are making a difference to the world of neuro-rehab. 

Our cover story focuses on a partnership made in the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bombing, when initial support for survivors dwindled and countless people - many of them very young - and their families were left struggling to cope with their unimaginable trauma. 

Recognising the need for intervention, and despite no funding being in place, Hudgell Solicitors and Proclaim Care worked together to devise a package of bespoke support for scores of survivors - making an inestimable difference to their lives and their ability to look to the future. 

The dedication of the team in creating something so needed - and where otherwise support was absent - is exceptional and was really humbling to write about. 

Among the other highlights from this issue is the beautiful piece of writing from Danyelle Clarke. From being seriously injured in a road collision, she continues to make a phenomenal recovery and has shared her insight into the importance of the therapeutic relationship with our readers. 

Her words are very valuable and I would urge everyone to take the time to read them. By sharing her thoughts and experiences so openly and honestly, Danyelle is helping to change relationships between therapists and clients for the better. Thank you, Danyelle. 

I hope you enjoy this issue and, as ever, we very much welcome your feedback, thoughts, suggestions and stories. Please do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you. 

In the meanwhile, I hope 2023 is a great year for all of you and your families and thank you for continuing to support NR Times.
