Priory provides specialised, high quality, rehabilitation-focused treatment programmes for those living with an acquired brain injury (ABI) or progressive neurological condition (PNC). We support individuals who require immediate post-acute support, active or slow stream rehabilitation, or continuing care. Our Brain Injury Services are delivered across specialist sites throughout the UK.

The service encompasses all aspects of neurorehabilitation, including physical, behavioural, cognitive, emotional, communication and social, and is delivered within environments ranging from hospital settings to transitional living homes. The breadth of the service allows our network to offer a comprehensive option of care pathways, ensuring that all services have consistency in their approach and follow national guidance.
