3071 Acquired Brain Injury

Course Aims

The aim of this course is to give learners the knowledge and skills required to recognise and care for people with brain injuries including acquired brain injury (ABI) Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other forms of acquired brain injury.

Acquired brain injury covers all situations in which brain injury has occurred since birth, and includes traumatic brain injury as well as tumour, stroke, brain haemorrhage and encephalitis.  The effects are often very similar to those of traumatic brain injury, but there are key differences that make treating and coping with acquired brain injury quite different.

This course is aimed at anyone who provides care to people with acquired brain injuries.
