Welcome,

​

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity with around 1.4 million attendances to emergency departments in England and Wales following a head injury, the majority of which (80 to 90%) are classified as mild Even minor head injury can have significant long term consequences with significant impacts on life and work felt by some sufferers years following injury.

​

We are a team of emergency medicine researchers based at the University of Cambridge, Department of Medicine. We are largely focused on the diagnosis and management of TBI with a principle focus on mild head injury. We work with multiple partners worldwide to aim to deliver clinical improvements in the management of TBI.​​​ ​​

​

We are currently running two studies: BRAINS-TBI and POCKET. These studies aim to investigate whether blood biomarkers can help guide decisions about CT head scanning and improve our ability to predict recovery and outcomes after a mild head injury (Glasgow Coma Scale score 13–15).
