The local services consist of brain injury clinical nurse specialist/therapists, local inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, specialist social workers/care managers and local groups of Headway, the brain injury association.
The specialist county-wide services include the Community Head Injury Service rehabilitation team and 'Working Out' (vocational rehabilitation) team, inpatient neuro-rehabilitation team, medical consultant in brain injury rehabilitation, neuro-psychiatry (on a consultancy basis).
These services are co-ordinated and enhanced through various key stakeholders groups and panels. Services are funded through joint finance over five years through health and social services.

- inter-agency, county-wide Rehabilitation Referral Protocol and Operational Policy and
- inter-agency, county-wide, brain injury professional training workshop programme (talks, illustrative videotape examples and practical small group work).
