The ABIco,along with families, and the patient, will work towards a set of shared goals, which will be identified from the initial assessment. The ABIco will be responsible to communicate and liaise with Therapists,Social Services, PCT's, Medical Practitioners,Solicitors and Benefits Agency.Furthermore the post will establish a rapport with the families and give them support and information as required, therefore taking immense strain off the families.

The number of acquired brain injury incidents are on the increase year on year, both nationally and locally. The need for the ABIco service is supported by Dr Keith Andrews, Director of Medical and Research Services at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability as he states, "a Neuro-Disability Coordinator needs to be appointed to help plan an integrated pathway from time of admission, through acute services into rehabilitation and eventually care in the community."

The expected outcomes of our project- - To help more people with acquired brain injury to achieve the best personal outcomes. - Total family involvement, support and advice given to families - Patients and families directly and actively being approached by our service - Stronger interdisciplinary relationships between heath and social care professionals.
