The Centre for Brain Injury Rehabilitation
The Centre for Brain Injury Rehabilitation (CBIR) is situated at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Dundee.
We are an area wide service, admitting people from across the whole of Tayside. We provide in-patient rehabilitation to adults aged 16-65 who have complex disability following a brain injury, and who will benefit from interdisciplinary rehabilitation before being discharged from hospital.
All patients have an individual, goal orientated programme tailored to their own needs. With assistance from their families we help patients to achieve their goals in areas of health, activity and wellbeing. Families/carers will have an opportunity to attend the rehabilitation sessions.

Centre for Brain Injury Rehabilitation Short Film
This short film will introduce you to rehabilitation at the Centre for Brain Injury Rehabilitation. We hope that the information informs you about this stage of the brain injury rehabilitation journey.
The video can help prepare you for spending time with us, whether that is as a patient, relative, friend or student. The film was made in 2015 and while some things have changed we think it still gives an insight into our service.
