We are supporting a young medical student (early 20s) who sustained a high-level spinal cord injury while on holiday from university.

He is also one of a very small number of people in the UK to have a Neuralink implant, allowing him to control his laptop through thought. It's a fascinating and rewarding environment to work in.
