When a child suffers a brain injury, most discussions naturally focus on the timing of delivery, imaging results, or potential delays in diagnosis. Yet behind many of these cases lies a quieter, often overlooked factor: nutrition.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published updated guidance on ‘Rehabilitation for chronic neurological disorders including acquired brain injury’ (NG252).

Sam McFadyen answers the common question, 'what is concussion?' - the common causes, symptoms, ways of prevention and the recovery journey involved for those who have sustained a concussion.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden impact to the head disrupts normal brain function. The severity of a TBI can range in severity and the effects can be long-lasting or life-threatening. 

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can produce life-altering challenges that persist long after the initial trauma. Every TBI is unique, but many survivors face lasting physical, cognitive and emotional effects.

When someone survives a serious accident or incident - it’s often the visible injuries that receive the most immediate attention. But for many families and carers, the most challenging and distressing effects aren’t the physical ones, they’re the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) changes in personality, memory, and behaviour that can come from a traumatic brain injury (TBI). These hidden consequences can deeply affect relationships, independence, and mental wellbeing.

Switalskis has secured a settlement for a young-cyclist, who was left with a severe brain injury after being struck by a HGV whilst riding his bike.

When someone you love has been in an accident, the most obvious injuries such as cuts, bruises, and broken bones are the ones that get immediate attention. Yet brain injuries can hide in plain sight. A sudden blow or jolt to the head may disturb normal brain function, and the warning signs often develop slowly. In this guide we explore the signs individuals may recognise early on, so they can secure the right medical treatment and, where negligence is involved, the compensation needed to fund recovery.
