Brain Injury Information

Brain injury can happen to anyone. The effects of a brain injury can be wide ranging, and depend on a number of factors such as the type, location and severity of injury. Every person's injury is unique, so they will experience any number of the symptoms, which can range from mild to severe.

We recommend that you visit Headway UK's website for comprehensive information about brain injury. They have a large range of factsheets available on-line, as well as booklets available on a range of areas.
