Neurosurgical services in the UK are organised regionally into 34 acute neuroscience centres. Brain injury, both traumatic and non-traumatic, is common, and patients often present to local hospitals requiring further treatment in a neuroscience centre. Between April 2014 and June 2015, 15 820 patients suffered a traumatic brain injury in the UK. Of these, 6258 were transferred directly to a neuroscience centre, 5880 were not admitted to a neuroscience centre and 3682 underwent a secondary transfer from the admitting hospital to a neuroscience centre.1 In addition to traumatic brain injury, indications for non-traumatic causes of brain injury requiring acute transfer to a neuroscience centre continue to increase.
