There are many types of brain injury
When brain injury is mentioned people often imagine a traumatic incident such as a road traffic collision or a fall, but rarely do they think about the other causes of brain injury, and there are many. Every 90 seconds someone in the UK is admitted to hospital after an acquired brain injury (ABI) and the chances are that you know someone who has been affected. Perhaps you know somebody who has had a stroke, a brain tumour or a heart attack and is living with some difficulties as a result. Watch the video below for a brief explanation.
No two brain injuries are the same.
You and your brain injury are individual. However, there are some common longer term effects of brain injury and this is where you can find out a little more about them.
Below is a series of factsheets that aim to inform you and give you some hints and tips in dealing with some of the day to day issues you may face post-injury. All you need to do is click on the ‘read here’ buttons below to download them, maybe you’ll want to print them out and keep them close at hand or show them to loved ones to help them understand.
