On A Good Day

When brain injury hits your life it's a time of huge uncertainty with days, weeks, even months spent in hospital.

In this episode, we look at that time of crisis following brain injury and how best to support family members, friends and the patient themselves when they are in hospital.

She gives advice on how best to deal with this life-changing event including...

• Positive ways families can help loved ones when in hospital
• The most common questions she gets asked after stroke and other brain injuries
• Tips on taking children to see parents or other family members in hospital.
