The
Brain Injury Handbook
"Rehab UK was set up in the mid 1990's to promote opportunities for people
who have an acquired brain injury; to enable them to return to their rightful place
in both the community and work-place. More than 120,000 people leave hospital each
year with a brain injury. This represents a huge increase in the last twenty years,
partly due to improved medical and hospital services.
". . . With the support of our highly specialised vocational rehabilitation
teams at our Brain Injury Centres, we are helping these people."
