AN Oxford neurologist who spent 20 years improving the lives of brain injury survivors, despite also dealing with the effects of his own stroke, has been honoured for his work.
Professor Udo Kischka was named runner up for the Stephen McAleese Outstanding Contribution Award by the mental health charity Headway.
Working closely with Headway Oxfordshire, professor Kischka, 64, helped improve the lives of countless brain injury patients while working as a Neuro Rehabilitation Consultant at the Oxford Centre of Enablement since 2004.
However, since 2016, he has also been dealing with his own rehabilitation after suffering a stroke himself.
He and his wife now work with medical and care professionals, carers groups and the public to help better understanding of the effects of brain injury and improve rehabilitation.
