Welcome!

Many of the world’s population have no access to appropriate diagnostic, neurorehabilitative or support services following brain injury. Addressing Brain Injury in Under-Resourced Settings tackles this unacceptable gap in service provision by empowering the reader to provide basic care, education and support for patients with brain injuries and their families.

This companion website to Addressing Brain Injury in Under-Resourced Settings supports and enhances the valuable resources offered in the book. Aimed primarily at community health workers, voluntary sector workers, policy developers, fundraising organizations and all professional healthcare providers who work with brain-injured patients around the world, the website includes:

• Services and Support including guidance for fundraisers, charities, organizations, foundations and societies, as well as details of activism, and information on support groups and patient services.
• Resources to supplement the practical guidance in the book, including videos; audio material; websites; blogs; podcasts and articles concerning brain injury; educational materials; relevant databases, training resources and materials; case studies; learning resources and government resources; and recommend journals.
• Working with Patients: focused and expanded guidance on patient management, including exercises and patient assessment materials.
• Feedback: a ‘contact’ section for users to give feedback on the materials offered.

"I am delighted to see a book that presents a global perspective on the understanding and management of brain injury. The emphasis on prevention and education to minimise injuries and disease in the first place is welcome, and the focus on understanding differences in culture and experience is vital. The book is full of resources at all levels of complexity to help people with little exposure to brain injury rehabilitation to find information and ideas to educate and inspire them in whatever corner of the world they inhabit." Jill Winegardner, Oliver Zangwill Centre, UK
