Bryan Jennett

Bryan Jennett was a prominent Scottish neurosurgeon known for his pioneering work in the field of brain injury and consciousness. He is best recognized for developing the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in 1974, a systematic way to assess a patient’s level of consciousness and neurological function after a head injury. The GCS has become a standard tool used worldwide in emergency medicine and critical care, helping medical professionals evaluate patients and make informed decisions about their treatment. Jennett’s contributions have significantly advanced our understanding of comas and brain injuries, impacting patient care and rehabilitation strategies.
