IMPACT Research Engagement Events
IMPACT, The Centre for Post-Collision Research, Innovation and Translation, host a monthly Research Engagement series brings together experts, clinicians, researchers and policy makers from around the world to explore the latest developments in post-collision care.
Each session offers an inclusive forum to share new research, discuss innovations, and exchange ideas that can improve survival recovery after road traffic collisions — with a focus on both high-income and low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts.
Participation is open to everyone with an interest in post-collision research and trauma care. Presentations are designed to engage both experienced researchers and those new to the field.
All engagement events are free to attend
Dr Nicola Lester
December's talk is by Dr. Nicola Lester, a registered mental health nurse and EMDR therapist specializing in psychological trauma. As the clinical consultant for Brake's National Road Victim Service, she collaborates with caseworkers to integrate trauma-informed approaches into their support for families affected by road traffic collisions. Dr. Lester has developed the Gift of Reconnection training series, comprising bronze, silver, and gold levels, to educate professionals on trauma-informed practices. Her work emphasizes the importance of ethical, compassionate responses to traumatic bereavement, aiming to improve the experiences of those affected by sudden loss.
