In 1983, Dr Newson-Smith wrote an article in the Bulletin on services for the younger brain damaged persons. In particular she described Hamble Ward, which provides care for such people and for which she had medical responsibility. At that time, this type of service was very rare in the UK and the article generated considerable interest. In 1984, Dr Newson-Smith left the hospital and was replaced by one of the authors (CRS).
