Acquired Brain Injury Training

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Training

The Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Training Course is designed to give participants the knowledge and practical skills they need to support people with brain injuries in schools, hospitals, and community settings across the UK. This course looks at the causes, symptoms, and effects of ABI, including brain injuries from accidents and non-traumatic conditions like strokes or meningitis.

Participants will learn how to spot the physical, mental, emotional, and behavioural challenges people with ABI may face. They will also learn how to develop personalised strategies to help these individuals live more independently and improve their quality of life.

Through interactive workshops, case studies, and exercises, learners will get hands-on practice in assessing needs and creating support plans. The course also focuses on communication, risk management, and working with families and other healthcare professionals to provide complete care.

This course is suitable for professionals, carers, teachers, and support workers and follows UK care standards, including those from the NICE guidelines and Care Quality Commission (CQC). It is taught by experienced trainers and provides useful resources for applying what is learned in real-life situations. By the end of the course, participants will be able to create inclusive, supportive environments that help improve the wellbeing of individuals with ABI.

This course is ideal for anyone working with people with ABI, helping them improve their quality of life and support recovery.
