01. The early days after a brain injury

Brain Injury Bites

This is a series of podcasts based on the experiences of sustaining a traumatic brain injury. Brooke and Ashwini will be talking about specific experiences and providing advice to those who might be going through a similar thing. They'll also be looking at what support, help and advice are available to those who are suffering the effects of a brain injury. We'll be looking at the basic needs that someone has immediately after a brain injury and how we can progress them in their recovery.

In episode one, we share an introduction to the series and discuss the immediate aftermath of trauma and sustaining a brain injury, particularly Brooke's collision and his family's experience.
