Dave's nomination story

Dr Quinn is a Clinical Health Psychologist working for Herefordshire Wye Valley NHS, and specialises in working with people who have suffered an acquired brain injury. He is a voluntary member of the British Red Cross Psychosocial Support Team, has been deployed to China following the Chengdu earthquake, and to Malta helping British Nationals fleeing unrest in North Africa.

To raise public awareness, and money for the Headway brain injury charity, he has taken on personal challenges such as climbing the North Col of Everest, a charity cycle ride from Lands End to John o Groats; with two survivors of a brain injury to show people recovering from a brain injury that they can still dream, strive and succeed. He is in many ways the cornerstone of the work of the Herefordshire Acquired Brain Injury Team, a passionate and tireless champion for a largely voiceless part of the population.
