Neuropsychologists Drs. Lance Trexler and Jill Winegardner recognized the critical need for intensive hands-on clinical teaching in the formulation, application, and integration of interventions for both cognitive and emotional consequences of acquired brain injury. They created SINR in 2023 and invited leading national and international experts to join the faculty. This Institute is relevant for neuropsychologists, speech and language therapists, and occupational therapists in clinical practice. For more information please click here (opens a PDF)

Headwise and Swansea University are delighted to be offering a fully funded PhD Studentship in Acquired Brain Injury and Legal Adjudication.
Acquired brain injury is significantly overrepresented in the criminal justice system, with prevalence estimates in prison populations ranging from 50% to 80% in adult populations. The needs of individuals with brain injury who come into contact with the justice system are often complex, involving significant co-occurring challenges. This PhD will examine how brain injury-related information may be perceived and adjudicated upon, including sentencer awareness and the application of relevant legal guidance. Building on prior research between Swansea University and Headwise, the project will be shaped iteratively in collaboration with academic supervisors and stakeholders, using mixed methods to generate insights with real-world relevance for justice, rehabilitation, and policy reform.
