Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
An acquired brain injury (ABI) is a change in the brain's function that is not induced by birth trauma. Examples of ABIs include a stroke, an infectious disease affecting the brain (e.g., meningitis), or a lack of oxygen (e.g., during a heart attack). A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a change in the brain's function that is caused by an external force. Examples of TBIs include a road traffic accident, a workplace accident, or a sports injury.
Brain injuries can be sudden and traumatic, or they can go unrecognised until unexplained symptoms appear later in life. They can have a profound, life-long impact on a person's independence and emotional well-being. THCS tailors its rehabilitation care packages to support clients with ABIs and TBIs.
According to the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE, 2019), head injury is “the commonest cause of disability in people aged 1-40 years in the UK". In 2019, NICE found that 1.4 million people in England and Wales were admitted to hospital A & E departments with a head injury.
In London and the south-east in particular, hospital admissions for ABIs and TBIs have consistently increased by about 15% since 2006 (e.g., there were approximately 40,000 hospital admissions by 2018). THCS was established to meet this growing demand for ABI and TBI survivors to receive specialist, multi-disciplinary support in their own communities.
In 2018, research conducted by the UK-based brain injury charity Headway found that almost half of brain injury survivors aged 20-35 had lost or faced reduced access to specialist support services because of a lack of local authority and NHS funding. They also found that about 70% of brain injury survivors felt that their long-term support needs will increase without proper access to specialist, community-based support.
THCS provides cost-effective, evidence-based rehabilitation to clients and their families living with ABIs/TBIs. We differ from other agencies by specialising in supporting clients with histories of non-engagement due to professional relationships breaking down and/or funding shortages.
