Our Advanced Medical Programme can help your child
Having comprehensively evaluated the health picture of your child, our team will assess suitability to join the BPC programme or suggest alternative treatment options. If found suitable for the BPC programme, the team will tailor a specially-formulated, evidence-based programme designed to deliver the most appropriate treatment for your child’s condition.
Following the assessment, the bespoke treatment programme may include: a unique protocol that combines Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) with tailored cognitive training, physiotherapy, and nutritional guidance. After completing the BPC programme, your child will perform an additional set of assessments followed by a robust analysis carried out by our highly-trained team of clinicians, who look closely at the results of the treatment and discuss relevant long term care relevant for the child.
Our programme has already helped thousands of people worldwide suffering from a range of cognitive and physical related issues, including those caused by traumatic brain injury.
