Neuropsychiatry
Success Story: Raymond Raymond is a 70-year old gentleman who was referred to neuropsychiatric service, St Peters Hospital, in Newport following an Acquired Brain Injury. His injury had resulted in significant impairment of his cognitive function associated with paranoia and disturbed behaviours which included impulsive and unpredictable outbursts of aggression towards others.
At the time of referral Mr B had spent 8 months in hospital where it was considered that due to high levels of agitation and aggression it was unsafe to engage him in active rehabilitation and therefore he was being nursed continuously in bed.
