Phillips report. National report on traumatic brain injury in the Republic of Ireland 2008.

The epidemiology and demographics of traumatic brain injury are the subject matter of this study. It is a two year snap shot of TBI in Ireland. Our aim is to inform discussion and promote change. Improvements in service provision must be targeted towards areas where improvements are both needed and possible. This report asked specific questions; who was most vulnerable to injury, what were the events surrounding injury and what was the nature of the injury sustained as different injury requires different treatment. This information is needed before reforming service provision.
