Rehabilitation can be identified as a whole process of managing disability, with the aim to enable individuals, their families and care givers to adjust and cope with their change in circumstances.  It must be based on on-going assessment, planning and evaluation and involve partnership between the individual, their social network and the health and social care team.

At our network of rehabilitation centers, the rehabilitation process is different for every patient. Just as no two people are exactly alike, no two brain injuries are exactly alike. Rehabilitation programs are individualized, catering to each person's unique needs.

The person with a injury or disability and his or her family should are always the most important members of the treatment team. Cultural, religious, social and economic backgrounds are also taken into consideration when planning a person's rehabilitation program.

The goal of our rehabilitation team is to help people regain the most independent level of functioning possible. Rehabilitation channels the body's natural healing abilities and the brain's relearning processes so an individual may recover as quickly and efficiently as possible. Rehabilitation also involves learning new ways to compensate for abilities that have permanently changed due to brain injury. There is much that is still unknown about the brain and brain injury rehabilitation. Treatment methods and technology are rapidly advancing as knowledge of the brain and it's function increases.



Our approach towards Rehabilitation:




The rehabilitation process typically involves a range of essential disciplines such as a Specialist Consultant, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Specialist Rehabilitation Nurses/Nurse Consultant, Doctors, Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, Psychiatrists, and Pain physicians.  The effective rehabilitation is dependent on this group of people functioning as a team, engaged in collaborative goal planning, focusing on the disabled person and their family.

We focus our rehabilitation upon the patient’s needs and goals in order to deliver an effective quality service to patients we are aiming to help.  We strive to provide effective rehabilitation services based upon the following principles:

• Providing interdisciplinary assessment in the acute setting to provide specialist support and advice to prevent secondary complications developing.
• Staffed by a team of specialist professionals who work as a co-coordinated interdisciplinary team to enable people to transfer skills acquired during therapy sessions to their daily living activities.  The team is currently working towards an interdisciplinary approach.  In rehabilitation this approach is shown not only to be effective, but cost effective in reducing the need for long term care.

Delivering well planned, goal orientated rehabilitation programmes to the appropriate intensity for the person concerned, whilst supporting their family and carers to contribute to the rehabilitation process.
