Why your views matter

To ensure high standards, Brain Injury Service needs to gather information about you.

Information about your Quality of Life is a useful way for the Brain Injury Service to evaluate how well it is serving you.

Brain Injury Service is collecting information about your Quality of Life at 3 time points:

1. when you enter NTBIS,
2. when you are discharged from NTBIS,
3. 1 year after discharge from NTBIS
    
   This information will help NTBIS see how Quality of Life changes over time.
   The results will help NTBIS plan what it needs to do to support good Quality of Life after brain injury.
