How do rehabilitation clinicians make decisions regarding client safety, risk and growth, and what factors influence their ability to promote independence and choice in tāngata whaikaha?

Anna completed the research she is presenting as a research assistant along with Paul Skirrow (Psychological Medicine, University of Otago) and Rachelle Martin and Jean Hay-Smith (Rehabilitation, University of Otago).
Steph Thompson is the NZRA President. She works at Te Whatu Ora – Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley as an Allied Health Consultant in Rehabilitation.
