Our Early Intervention Service is located within King's College Hospital London and works in conjunction with the Neuro Team. It accepts referrals of patients after traumatic brain injury from the 3 Neuro wards via the MDT discharge planning team. We inform and advise on pathways for individuals and families and, following discharge, support individuals and families for a smooth transition back into the community. For those in need of input from clinical rehabilitation, we monitor until such time as it can be determined if our community services are required.
In conjunction with King's College Hospital, we run a clinic, led by a senior neurology nurse and supervised by consultant neurosurgeon. The clinic reviews previous patients of King's who have been discharged, but also offers itself to clients of Headway by referral only. The clinic also has neuropsychology input.

Abbeywood - covering the local authority or areas of Greenwich, Bexley, Lewisham, Dartford Swanley and Gravesend; Bromley - covering the local authority areas of Bromley and Croydon; and Southwark - covering the local authority areas of Southwark and Lambeth.
