Our structure

Network governance structure diagram

The network is comprised of a number of groups that oversee, facilitate and undertake much of the work. In September 2025, a revised governance structure was agreed that merged Board and Clinical Effectiveness Group, stood down the Workforce Development Subgroup and merged the Community Neurorehabilitation Forum into the Neurorehabilitation Inpatient & Community Forum.
