Training Description
Brain injury survivors often face significant hidden challenges when navigating healthcare systems. Difficulties with memory, communication, processing speed, emotional regulation, and insight can make appointments, forms, waiting times, and changes to routine overwhelming. These barriers can lead to frustration, distress, and behaviours that may be misunderstood within busy GP environments.
This training is designed to support GPs and practice staff to recognise how brain injury affects day-to-day interactions, improve communication, and respond effectively to behaviours that challenge. The focus is on practical, realistic adjustments that can improve patient experience, reduce conflict, and support more effective clinical engagement.
Learning outcomes

Recognise the hidden cognitive and emotional effects of brain injury
Understand why healthcare systems can be particularly challenging for brain injury survivors
Identify how frustration and behaviours that challenge may arise in GP settings
