Service Standards for the Rehabilitation of Adults with Acquired Brain Injury

These are the first of a set of standards to be produced by SHIF.

Research shows that rehabilitation after acquired brain injury (ABI) is effective and improves recovery and the quality of life for the injured person.  Organised rehabilitation programmes are also cost effective, they can reduce care costs and let more people return to work.

The standards in this document can be used to set local standards for rehabilitation.  Each one has criteria which can be used to measure whether the standard has been achieved.  They can be widely applied but are likely to be of most relevance to younger adults with ABI. 

There is a glossary of terms designed to help people who are not familiar with the terminology used.
