The head and brain injury charity Headway has produced some statistics on the prevalence of head injuries in the UK. Some of the headline facts are as follows: In 2013/14 a total of 348,934 people were admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury. That equates to an injury every 90 seconds across the country. Over the same period, a total of 162,544 people were admitted to hospitals for a head injury. This equated to one every three minutes.
