Returning to work
We offer a goal-orientated approach
and individualised care packages to
meet each patient’s needs.
We are a time limited service and our
intervention varies from 6 to 12 weeks
and intensity can be 1-3 sessions per
week depending on need.
Management of Long Term Conditions
This service provides for people with
progressive
and
non-progressive
neurological impairments to facilitate
self-management and preventative
support. Treatment intensity can vary
from once a week to once a month.
Early Supported Discharge (Stroke)
Acute, stroke survivors not meeting the
ESD criteria can also receive stroke
specialist rehabilitation at a more
suitable intensity which still allows the
individual to achieve their goals and
maximise independence.
In patient Stroke Beds
Stroke survivors who still require a high
level of support and are unable to be
discharged home from the acute stroke
unit, but have continuing rehabilitation
goals can be admitted to these beds.
They will receive intensive stroke
specialist therapy for a period of on
average six weeks.
Groups
We
are running and developing a
range of classes including:

Circuit Exercise Group

Parkinson’s Group

Upper Limb Group
