Brain injury

Brain injury can occur in many different circumstances. A brain injury which occurs at birth is known as an ‘acquired brain injury’, and this will usually arise as a result of the newborn being deprived of oxygen. Brain injuries can also occur as a result of an accident, for example during a road traffic collision, or a fall or collapse at home or in the community resulting in trauma to the head. Finally, it can arise as a result of complications during medical treatment. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of a brain injury is key in minimising the after effects. 

The effects of a brain injury can be relatively minor, allowing the individual to still be able to operate a normal life, right through to being catastrophic, where all areas of life are affected and where full time medical or supportive care is required.
