Does anyone know where I can get support in Cardiff for myself and my girlfriend? I am recovering from a BI and showing signs of Executive Dysfunction so we would love some support!

Cardiff has quite a lot of Neuro services from Headway, which is very active in the city to Rook Wood hospital which specialises in severe injuries.

Cardiff is becoming the centre for Brain research in the UK and has the most powerful MRI scanner outside of the USA .

No problem,

Further west where I am there is very little. There are Headway branches but whilst they undoubtedly provide a good service for their customers they don't have much for me.

Hi Shaun, I am down the road in Neath, not sure of headway activity in Cardiff, however I put together a website giving some advice from my experiences which you may find useful, braininjuryftp.com.

All the best with it and hope you find some good support in Cardiff.

Kind regards

Neil

Despite me being a Swansea Jack and ‘all thugs Cardiff’ being local rivals (!), I wish you and your family all the very best for your recovery. Cardiff is the UK centre for TBI research so you are in the right place. Myself & fellow TBI’ers from West Wales have to travel regularly to Cardiff to access TBI treatments & advice.

Not what you're looking for?
