title: Subarachnoid haemorrhage: a clinical overview.
abstract: Subarachnoid haemorrhage affects up to 9,000 people a year in the UK (Lindsay and Bone 1997) and is a devastating condition. Although many patients make a good physical recovery, some are left with cognitive and perceptual deficits. Early rehabilitation and support is essential, and caring for these patients and their families is a major challenge for nurses.
