Traumatic Brain Injury - with Dan Davis & Alice Kershberg

In this episode Dan Davis explores the wider aspects of TBI with Alice Kershberg, a clinical nurse specialist in traumatic brain injury.  Alice plays a vital role in not only looking after patients who have suffered a traumatic brain injury, but acts as the bridge between the hospital and the community and between the neurosurgery team and the family. In this episode we explore many facets of the pathology but also shine a light on the pastoral role of acting as a liaison supporting patients and family after surgery, helping them to navigate their recovery in what can be a life changing injury. Alice's role is fundamentally key to linking medicine to the lives of those affected in the community and gives an insight into the patient journey after pre-hospital care has passed the baton onto the hospital and into rehabilitation - we hope you enjoy the episode.
