✨ Inspiring work, incredible people, and an exceptional community. It’s truly remarkable to see how much a small country like Malta has achieved in such a short time — from Paralympians to grassroots community groups, from local initiatives to international representation on Para athlete councils, from empowering individuals with disabilities to raising awareness about disability inclusion among thousands of students nationwide.

MPC — you make me proud to witness this positive change, proud to be part of this movement, and proud to be Maltese!

Disability inclusion has made great strides in recent years — and as MSPRM, we are strong supporters of any effort that promotes inclusion and empowers individuals with disabilities.

Yet, as Prof. Grima powerfully noted in his closing speech: we look forward to the day when we no longer need to speak of inclusion, no longer need a Ministry for Inclusion... We look forward to a future where the inclusion of individuals with disabilities is a given — embedded in every aspect of life. If sport can serve as the blueprint for this vision, then you have my full support.

As we come to the end of the Stroke Awareness Month of May we would like to thank all those involved - the stroke team at KGRH for their yearly dedication in creating activities for stroke patients, spreading awareness of stroke prevention and holistic care and for being a big part of our Stroke Journey Seminar. Thanks to all MSPRM members for their hard work and MANNs, UoM and all other contributors for their collaboration. Thanks Nicole Vella for taking photos during the seminar and Christa Vella for compiling and posting an insightful educational campaign related to stroke through the whole of May on our social media. Above all, thanks to our patients and their relatives who were always at the centre of our campaign and who inspire us daily with their resilience and strength.

After a a great turnout, an amazing audience and an even greater group of presenters, we cannot thank everyone enough for a successful Stroke Journey Seminar. In particular, we humbly thank Marcette, Jeet and Ron aka Angelo for sharing their stories with us all. Below we share with you our latest interview produced by MZ Photography, presenting our very own Ron and his inspiring journey.

Thanks to everyone who contributed once again

It's been a year now since we have relaunched our rehab association, the Maltese Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.

Our collaborations this year included:

- MMSA - Malta Medical Students' Association , delivering a prosthetics workshop, ultrasound demos in TRD and co-hosted games nights for patients within our wards.

- Amputees4Amputees - A4A , hosting seminars on advanced prosthetics and meeting Paralympians too.

- Malta Paralympic Committee , a group of individuals which share most of our vision of empowering individuals with disability and championing excellence through the promotion of physical activity.

- NGOs like Jacob's Brew Café and their support group Survivors Malta

- Malta Chamber of Psychologists , working to increase awareness about the role of psychology in rehabilitation.

- The British Society of Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine - BSPRM and even with the ESPRM , hosting an international Congress only a couple of months ago which brought the leading Rehabilitation specialist from across Europe all together in Malta.

- Malta Association for Neurologists and Neurosurgeons and University of Malta , to organise a stroke awareness seminar.

But above all, we have collaborated with survivors, with individuals with disability, sharing filmed interviews on social media and sharing their stories on our stand in Science in the City, Malta - which we will be participating in this September as well, so stay tuned for that.

We would like to thank all those who contributed to these events and projects and look forward to the year ahead!

In the lead-up to our seminar in 6 days time, we’re honoured to share Marcette’s Stroke Journey — a moving video produced by Matthew from MZ Photography. It tells the inspiring story of Marcette, a stroke survivor whose resilience and strength will touch many hearts.

We’re deeply grateful to Marcette for sharing her journey with us and for accepting our invitation to join the seminar this Friday. In her words, she hopes her story "brings some good to people in need."
