Visiting Patients and Families/Supporters In Hospital
Experiencing an injury to the brain can be incredibly bewildering and frightening for both the individual and their support network.
Our team visit patients and their supporters at Yeovil District Hospital, Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton and SNRC at Dene Barton, Cotford St Luke to help them through this difficult time.
People value the specialist information, practical and emotional support our team offer and knowing that someone cares about the position they find themselves in. Our aim is that no one has to cope alone.
