Two new publications, Lack of insight after brain injury and Supporting children when a parent has had a brain injury, both received Highly Commended status at the prestigious BMA Patient Information Awards ceremony on 18 September 2017.
The latest awards bring the total number of BMA accolades claimed by the charity to 24 in just nine years.
Peter McCabe, Chief Executive of Headway, said, “We are delighted that the BMA continues to recognise the quality of information we provide to people affected by brain injury.”
“We continue to publish new material to address the different ways in which life can be affected by brain injury, and are proud that two of our latest resources have been highly commended by the BMA.”
Lack of insight after brain injury addresses the complex issue in which some survivors lack awareness of how brain injury affects them. The factsheet defines lacking insight, and offers a range of tips to help partners, family, friends and carers with managing this issue.
Supporting children when a parent has had a brain injury was co-written by Dr Jo Johnson, Consultant Neuropsychologist. It offers information about how children of different ages typically respond to a parent sustaining a brain injury, and how to offer age-appropriate support to them. This resource is available as a printed booklet or a downloadable e-booklet. It has kindly been sponsored by Michael Jefferies Injury Lawyers.
The British Medical Association Patient Information Awards were established in 1997 to encourage excellence in the production and dissemination of accessible, well-designed and clinically-balanced patient information.
You can download these and our other brain injury resources from the Information Library.
