Following publication by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) of Early Management of Patients with a Head Injury, local practices were reviewed in a Glasgow trust. This led to both organisational and clinical changes. This article discusses how a training programme in performing neurological observations was developed to meet staff learning needs regarding head injury, and explains changes to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) charts used in the trust.
