The theme of ABI week this year is ‘Every 90 Seconds’ to raise awareness of the fact that somebody is admitted to hospital every 90 seconds in the UK with a brain injury.
Brain injuries within this powerful statistic include, but are not limited to, injuries sustained during a road traffic collision, assault, workplace incident, falls, strokes or brain tumours.
According to Headway, road traffic collisions and assaults are two of the three most common causes of traumatic brain injury.
The Hugh James Serious Injury department specialises in assisting individuals who have sustained life changing acquired brain injuries through causes such as road traffic collisions and assaults.
