Orlando Swayne: How to Use a Fork
Orlando Swayne, Maddison Connaughton
Courtyard Theatre 15 Aug
15.30 1hr

A consultant neurologist with a particular interest in neurorehabilitation, Orlando Swayne’s work has taught him that a brain that’s been ‘broken’ has the potential to form new connections and mend itself. Speaking profoundly to our Changing Your Mind theme, Swayne discusses How to Use a Fork: Stories of Mending the Broken Brain: his fascinating exploration of human recovery and survival that brings real-world rehabilitation case studies to life, asking questions about the very nature of consciousness itself. Chaired by Maddison Connaughton.
