BIS Services Raising the standard in brain injury support and cognitive rehabilitation.

12/06/2026

How can we address the gap in provision between statutory and private medicolegal cases?

Funding constraints, inconsistent information at referral, gaps in specialist understanding, location, and infrequent or insufficient reviews can all leave clients under local authority care lacking the support they need and deserve.

In the latest BIScussions episode, we discuss the barriers that can arise in statutory support, the positives we do see, and emphasise the need for better education, collaborative and consistent working, specialist provision, and evidence on optimal rehab hours moving forward.

Many will hear this and think 'What a terrible business decision!'

But we have been committed to serving these two clients for upwards of 15 years, and we are proud to do so. It's why BIS Services was started, and what we continue to stand for.

Nobody should be left without adequate access to support after a brain injury, nobody should be left to fall through the cracks.

The basis of our podcast BIScussions is to have open and honest conversations about the reality of the neurorehabilitation sector.

Our latest episode, Medico-Legal vs Statutory/NHS Brain Injury Rehab: Funding, Outcomes, and the Postcode Lottery, explores the stark differences in support that still persist today, and what change is needed to overcome them.

🎙 New BIScussions episode out NOW!

This week, Natalie and Eky dive into a conversation that so many families, professionals, and survivors will recognise:

the huge differences between medico‑legal and statutory/NHS brain injury rehab.

From limited hours and inconsistent referral information to the postcode lottery that shapes access to support, they unpack the realities that too often go unspoken in our sector.

They share real examples of:
➡️ referrals arriving with missing or inaccurate information
➡️ statutory packages offering minimal hours but high expectations
➡️ gaps in specialist brain injury understanding
➡️ families leaving hospital without clear guidance or pathways

And they also highlight where statutory services do get it right, highlighting the invaluable moments of genuine advocacy and person‑centred support.

We're proud to be supporting Hard Hat Awareness week, a week introduced to drive awareness of brain injury through activities designed to encourage best practice around safety equipment.

Wearing a hard hat, maintaining it appropriately, and being more head injury aware are all vital to keeping safe in many places both inside and outside of the workplace.

Even a minor brain injury can have a major impact, so reminding people out the importance of proper safety, prevention and response is so important.

Carers Week đź’™

When someone sustains a brain injury, the effects are felt far beyond the individual.

Partners, parents, children, siblings, friends, and loved ones may suddenly find themselves taking on new responsibilities, be it attending appointments, providing emotional support, helping with everyday tasks, managing routines, or simply being there through the challenges that recovery can bring.

Many people in this position do not think of themselves as carers. They are simply doing what they can to support someone they love.

But art the same time, they may be balancing work, family life, financial pressures, and their own adjustment to the injury.

At BIS Services, we recognise that rehabilitation happens not just between the individual and professionals, but within families, relationships, and communities.

The support provided by loved ones is an essential part of this that cannot go unrecognised, and we as professionals must ensure the needs of the network around our client are considered within our rehabilitation plan.

At BIS Services, we believe it is essential to create an approach that is formulated to work alongside a family, rather than something imposed on a family. We take the time to understand what matters to the individual and their loved ones, respecting the fact that we are working within someone's home and personal life, and ensuring that support enhances family functioning rather than disrupting it.

This Carers Week, we would like to acknowledge all those who provide support, encouragement, patience, and care to a loved one following brain injury. Thank you.

Feedback like this is what spurs us on to continue the work we do, seeing the individuals at the centre of our support.

At BIS Services we understand the complexities of working with a brain injury sustained during brain development, and the need for specialist support and rehabilitation.

We are able to support families of children and young adults who have sustained a brain injury, as well as having experience of working in families where both adult and child have sustained an injury.

“Essential, Not Optional.”🚺

This year’s International Day of Action for Women’s Health theme strongly resonates with our work at BIS Services.

Women’s health should never become secondary, even during periods of complexity, crisis, or significant life change.

Following a brain injury, neurorehabilitation understandably becomes a priority. But women’s wider health needs can sometimes become overlooked, treated separately, or pushed into the background.

Women living with brain injury and neurological conditions are entitled to the same healthcare support, opportunities, and consideration as before their injury, whatever that looks like for them as individuals.

At BIS Services, an area of particular interest is sexual and reproductive health and rights after brain injury.

Relationships, intimacy, pregnancy, parenthood, and family life can all be affected following brain injury. Factors such as fatigue, cognition, emotional adjustment, insight, impulsivity, and capacity can shape experiences and support needs.

We believe neurorehabilitation should always recognise the whole person — identity, relationships, aspirations, responsibilities, and family life.

That belief led us to develop specialist training in this area, create learning opportunities through BIScussions, and host our conference exploring pregnancy and parenting after brain injury.

Women’s health is not separate from neurorehabilitation. It is part of it. 💜

In our 20th year of service, we at BIS Services are not just reflecting on our achievements to date, but looking forward to the future.

BIS Services was founded overnight with one clear goal: to ensure people living with brain injuries do not have to go without vital support.

This ethos remains ingrained in everything we do. Beyond our day to day service provision, we have always championed a commitment to raising the standard of support in neurorehabilitation.

This means improving education, open conversation, research, knowledge sharing, advocacy, communication, collaboration, consistency, adaptability, and client-centred approaches, amongst many other things.

We are proud of everything we have achieved in the past two decades, but we recognise there is still a long way to go in ensuring the best possible support for people living with brain injuries.

At BIS Services we recommit to our goal of raising industry standards. Here's to 20+ more years of excellence and continued improvement đź‘Ź

“Whether we think someone is a good fit or not doesn’t matter if the client doesn’t feel that connection.”

In brain injury rehabilitation, therapeutic relationships are one of the strongest predictors of outcomes.

Qualifications, experience and training matter. But if a client doesn’t feel understood, comfortable, or able to build trust, even the strongest CV on paper may not translate into the right support in practice.

In our latest BIScussions episode, we explore the realities of recruitment in neurorehabilitation support, from finding psychology graduates with the right balance of knowledge and soft skills, to the challenge of matching people beyond qualifications alone.
