Head injury: assessment and early management

Excerpt

This guideline covers the assessment and early management of head injury in children, young people and adults. It promotes effective clinical assessment so that people receive the right care for the severity of their head injury, including referral directly to specialist care if needed.

In September 2019, we updated the advice in recommendation 1.4.12 on when to have a CT scan to change warfarin to anticoagulants.

Who is it for?:

  1. Healthcare professionals

  2. People with head injury, their families and carers
