"At Cambian, we have developed a unique ABI rehabilitation model, which combines all areas of clinical expertise to help the men in our care. Our service takes into account everything from the environment of the unit to the composition of our multidisciplinary team so that we can design a bespoke care pathway to help any individual affected by this condition. We aim to reduce risk, maximise independence, improve quality of life and, where possible, help those affected to fully recover." Dr J Andres Saez Fonseca MSc MRCPsych, Group Medical Director.
