My name is Miriam Smith, and I’m a speech and language therapist working with adults who have experienced complex brain injuries. Over the past twelve years, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, from acute hospital care and supporting medically unstable patients to community roles serving adults with learning disabilities. I’m now in a specialist role in neurorehabilitation at a non-NHS charity hospital.
