Action for Brain Injury Week 2010
Action for Brain Injury Week is Headway's annual campaign, where they focus their resources on raising awareness of brain injury and the difficulties faced by service users. This year, Headway have developed a factsheet called 'Minor head injury discharge advice', which we will be asking hospitals around the country to give to patients after head injury. The main aims of the campaign will be to:
- Highlight the danger signs that require head injury patients to immediately return to hospital having been discharged
- Highlight the need for high-quality information on post-concussion symptoms, which can persist for anything from a few days to several months or even years
