injury, their families and carers may require or wish to use as they
progress from hospital services into the community and beyond.
This list is not exhaustive but should give people an idea of the services
that are available to them. If further information is required please
contact the service listed directly or phone Headway Cambridgeshires
Community Brain Injury Advisors on 01223 576550.
