This pages has a calendar showing when his friends are visiting Pádraig, and a number of links to interesting resources on acquired brain injury (ABI) which we just started, including:
- Brain Injury: In the News
- Associations
- Videos
- Books
If you want to find out who is visiting Pádraig in Hamburg and when, check out this calendar.
Visiting hours in the Schön-Klinik are 15:00-20:00 every day, so there’s plenty of visiting time – even if your visits overlap.
Please email us if you want to include your visit in the calendar.
Here is a collection of (more or less random) links to resources and information on ABI. It’s pretty basic at the moment but we hope to develop it.
