It is estimated that 1 million people in Britain attend Hospital each year as a result of a head injury.

Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) account for 40-50% of all injuries and are most commonly associated with severe injuries.

The age group most at risk of head injury is 15 to 29.  In this age group, males are five times likely to sustain injuries.

11,600 people will suffer severe head injury.  Of these, only about 15% will return to work within five years.

In general, males are 2-3 times more likely to have a head injury.
