About NOIjam

A new class of rehabilitation professional is now emerging - we can call this person a clinical scientist (or scientific clinician). Here we are referring to a professional at the clinical battlefront who uses reasoning science to integrate the best of modern science to help the patient in front of them. Clinical scientist activity ranges from reading and integrating science in the clinic to active data collection and analysis. This blog is for clinicians in the world of science.

• facilitating findings from science into clinical decision making,
• enhancing links between clinicians and researcher,
• bringing researchable ideas from the clinic to the fore.
