The GTA Rehab Network's Best Practices Day 2015 was held on May 1, 2015 and was a great success. Attended by close to 180 participants, the day provided the opportunity for clinicians, researchers and management professionals to explore this year's theme, Rehabilitation and Reintegration: Perspectives across the Continuum, with our keynote speakers and workshop presenters. The day also provided the opportunity to learn about many research projects and initiatives and to network with healthcare professionals from across Ontario and beyond.
