Every 90 seconds, someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with a brain injury while many more are living with the long-term effects.
With this in mind, a group of Northern Ireland charities have come together to urge people to take a second to learn more about the prevalence of brain injury this Action for Brain Injury (ABI) Week.
ABI Week, which kicks off today, seeks to raise awareness of the effects of acquired brain injury and how it only ‘takes a second’ for a life to be completely knocked off course.
