Andrew says of Heads Together: 'I was really happy to convene this group and lead the bid writing. Our successful bid was really a “Covid lockdown project”. Having a fabulous team in place, I am excited to think that we will make a difference to Social Work training that ultimately will benefit people living with the hidden consequences of brain injury.'
