    Neuro-rehabilitation

    The Neuro-Rehabilitation Team aims to provide a comprehensive and co-ordinated range of services to people with an acquired or progressive neurological disorder, enabling people to function as independently as possible. This is achieved by improving or maintaining physical, social and psychological wellbeing.

    Appropriate assessment and treatment regimes are tailored to the needs of each individual. Those with chronic or deteriorating neurological conditions are monitored and ongoing support and treatment is given.

    Advice, education and support to service users, carers and other professional or voluntary services are provided.

    An initial assessment interview is carried out to determine the patient/carer needs, and to ensure that all the relevant specialties are informed and involved.

    We also have a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine who will see you at regular intervals if required. The Consultant offers Botulinum Toxin therapy if this will improve the outcome of treatment.
