We were delighted to welcome the UK partners of the European MOTION project to Chailey Clinical Services on Tuesday 4th of February. The partners from University of Kent, University of Greenwich, University of Canterbury and the Academic Health Sciences Network for Kent, Surrey & Sussex were given a presentation from Highly Specialist Paediatric Physiotherapist, Victoria Brant about the residential and community services provided for children and young adults at Chailey Clinical Services and Chailey Heritage, followed by a tour of the facilities. This unique centre specialises in services for children with complex physical disability and over the last 20 years key research has taken place around postural management, powered mobility and sleep disorders in children with cerebral palsy. The MOTION UK partners reported that it was helpful to see how Chailey can support the clinical trial part of the project involving children with Cerebral Palsy and their carers and better understand how the services/partners will work together.
