We are supporting ayoung medical student (early 20s)who sustained ahigh-level spinal cord injurywhile on holiday from university.

He is exceptionally bright, articulate, and determined to return to his studies and live as independently as possible. Despite everything he has been through, he has apositive, driven mindsetand is fully engaged in his care and future.

He lives in afully adapted family homein Oxfordshire with a specialist care setup and strong family support.

He is also one of a very small number of people in the UK to have aNeuralink implant, allowing him to control his laptop purely through thought. It is an incredible piece of technology and a fascinating environment to work in.

This is ahighly engaging and meaningful package, where you will build a genuine relationship and play a key role in supporting his long-term goals.

This is ahigh-acuity packagerequiring confident critical care nurses:
