Who We Are and How We Work: An Untapped Resource in Rehabilitation: a public lecture by Professor Nicola Kayes

In this professorial address, Professor Nicola Kayes will share insights from her research unpacking person-centred practice, therapeutic relationship, engagement, and psychosocial experience in rehabilitation following injury or illness.
She will show how a focus on who we are and how we work has the potential to challenge rehabilitation structures and processes, including what is legitimatised as core rehabilitation work and what constitutes a good outcome.
Nicola is the Co-Director of the Centre for Person Centred Research. In 2005 she was appointed as a research officer within the Health and Rehabilitation Institute at AUT – and so began her journey as a rehabilitation researcher.
Her research now draws insights from the intersection between health psychology and rehabilitation to inform structures, processes, and practice in rehabilitation and deliver outcomes that matter to people.
