Acquired brain injury action plan launchesRSS Feed
Acquired brain injuries (ABIs) in Northern Ireland (NI) are to be better treated after a minister set out a new initiative.
Health minister Michael McGimpsey today (July 6th) unveiled the NI executive's Acquired Brain Injury Action Plan.
The plan sets out vision of a person-centred approach to care and how services available for brain injury patients can be developed.
Unveiling the plan, Mr McGimpsey said: "The ABI Action Plan aims to ensure earlier recognition, diagnosis, treatment, care and rehabilitation, as well as recognising the importance of support for the families and carers of people affected by acquired brain injury."
The Action Plan emerged from the 2008 Review of Services for People with Acquired Traumatic Brain Injury in Northern Ireland, commissioned by the health minister after concerns were raised about the quality of care.
Acquired brain injury can be caused by a number of conditions, including stokes, brain tumours, encephalitis, aneurysms, and brain haemorrhages, according to brain injury charity Headway.
