Abstract
Brain injury is one of society's final frontiers. The so-called ‘silent epidemic’ is simply not talked about, despite the fact that an estimated one million people—in Britain alone—attend hospital every year as a result of having a head injury. Add to that number those who have had some form of neurological dysfunction since birth and the aggregate of those who know something about brain injury, directly or indirectly, exceeds the number of Britons who are, say, members of a political party! And yet it does not form part of the public debate—or certainly has not in recent years. But all that has suddenly changed! Thanks to Susan Boyle (a.k.a. SuBo, according to the popular press) there is a general awareness that brain injury does not necessarily reduce the sufferer's world.
