Optimal Traumatic Brain Injury Pathway published by National Neurosciences Advisory Group

The optimal clinical pathways for adults with neurological conditions set out what good treatment, care and support look like.  This includes treatment and support for people who are experiencing the first symptoms of a neurological condition, right through to people who have lived with such conditions for a long time. 

The pathways can be used to commission and improve local services to meet the needs of the local population and deliver efficiency savings across the system. They have been developed by consultant neurologists, with support from allied health professionals, patient groups and people affected by neurological conditions.   

The Optimal Traumatic Brain Injury pathway is part of a suite of optimal neuroscience clinical pathways that have been developed by the neurological community, with the support of NHS England and the National Neurosciences Advisory Group (NNAG). The development of this pathway was overseen by NNAG, with input from professional bodies and patient organisations. A 6 week public consultation was held to gather input, views and experience from people affected by neurological conditions and wider stakeholders.

The full document, as well as the full suite of published pathways are available on the NNAG website.
