News and reports

Can you help us to achieve our priorities over the next 12 months by supporting access to relevant services and communities we can engage with to hear their experiences.

The particular focus of this project is to improve support for the family, carers and
older people with a learning disability (aged 40+ to reflect the early onset of chronic
health conditions such as dementia) by producing effective recommendations.

We worked with in collaboration with Tees Valley Healthwatch Network and both the South Tees and wider Tees Valley reports are available to download.

In August 2023 we produced our GP Resource in collaboration with a range of professionals in response to the most common questions we heard from local people. We also wanted to raise awareness of the changes that are now in place in GP practice teams, to help people understand how to make the most of the range of options available from this service.

MATRIX Neurological is a registered charity based in Middlesbrough that works Tees Valley wide. Lived experience led we support children and young people living with the effects of an acquired brain injury following an accident or illness. We also provide peer-led practical and emotional support to their families.
