Rehabilitation First Awards 2009

Be proud - it's time to show-case your success

The Rehabilitation First Awards is a brilliantly prestigious and popular event, and this year the award ceremony will be celebrated at London Zoo on the 26th June 2009.

This lunch-time industry event is Post's most uplifting and heart-warming of them all. Identifying excelling individuals in the rehabilitation sector and highlighting their achievements, the Rehabilitation First Awards rewards excellence across the market – from employers to insurers, practitioners to claimant solicitors.

Shortlist announced!

We're pleased to announce that the shortlist has been announced. Post would like to congratulate all nominees and wish them all the best of luck. Don't miss out on joining the festivities and celebrating your colleagues' successes by booking a table today.

Special guest speaker confirmed - Steve Backshall

Confirmed guest speaker at this event is Steve Backshall - British naturalist, writer and television presenter, notably on Expedition Borneo.

Once again we recognise the essential and proactive role that claimant solicitors can play in helping to ensure early and appropriate take up of rehabilitation for the benefit of their clients, in addition to the commendable efforts undertaken by employers to return their employees to health and reduce sickness absence.

Innovation underpins every fast-developing industry and rehabilitation is no exception. From the early days of Post’s campaign that were focused on simply raising awareness of what rehabilitation is all about, efforts have quickly moved to proving the cost-benefit argument and campaigning for best practice to be accredited.

And now - through these highly coveted awards - everyone can see how hard the UK's rehabilitation providers, practitioners and partners have worked to deliver inspired solutions to overcome the challenges they face. More importantly, as a result, more people are being returned to health and to work, reducing sickness absence and minimising the effects of accidents and illness on the lives of those affected.

So this is your time to be proud. These awards officially acknowledge the excellent work that companies and individuals are contributing to further the development of rehabilitation in this country. But remember, you have got to be in it, to win it.
