Head injury: assessment and early management - guidance (NG232)

This guideline aims to ensure that babies, children, young people and adults have the right care for the severity of their head injury, including direct referral to specialist care if needed.

SPS commentary:

Changes have been made to align quality standard with this updated NICE guideline. Statement 2 on CT head scans for people taking anticoagulants has been removed because the recommendations in this area have changed.
