HISTORY
TBI research in Oxford spans more than 80 years, dating back to the Military Hospital for Head Injuries (MHHI) established in Oxford during World War II.
The MHHI became a centre of innovation, pioneering the use of penicillin and deploying mobile neurosurgical units to treat injuries on the battlefield.
WWII Veterans study notification
A study is being performed to understand the long-term effects of traumatic brain injuries among veterans treated at the Military Hospital for Head Injuries (MHHI) in Oxford during the Second World War.
If you or a family member received treatment at the MHHI and may appear in its historical records, please see the study notification for more information about what this involves, how your data will be protected, and instructions on how to opt out if desired.
