About

At Headway, we understand how difficult it can be to sit by the bedside of a loved one who is in critical care following a sudden acute acquired brain injury.

For many families, the relief that their loved one has survived is immediately replaced by uncertainty and fear about what the future may hold.

Sitting by the bedside for hours on end, hoping against hope for a positive development can be both frightening and emotionally exhausting.  

Any remaining strength can then be sapped by making or receiving dozens of calls each evening from worried family and friends, each understandably eager for updates.
