The aim of this study was to identify and prioritise features of a brain injury rehabilitation service that are important to health professionals and consumers (clients and family) in a regional area.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The nominal group technique methodology was used. Between July and September 2022, four workshops were held with healthcare professionals (HCPs, n\u00a0=\u00a019) and consumers (n\u00a0=\u00a03). Workshop discussions were recorded and thematically analysed to identify the most important themes per group and overall.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Six key themes were identified. These related to a brain injury rehabilitation service being: (1) equitable and person-centred, (2) able to provide specialised services in response to client\u2019s needs, (3) well-connected and having a central coordinating role, (4) providing advocacy, education and facilitation of peer support, (5) building the capacity of the wider workforce, and (6) having clear and transparent clinical processes. There was substantial alignment between the themes of HCPs and consumers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
