Neuro-rehabilitation assessment clinic

We offer weekly neuro-rehabilitation assessment clinics where our patients are assessed by a multidisciplinary team: a consultant neurologist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, psychologist and rehabilitation specialist nurse.
 

Neuro-rehabilitation unit
 
The Neurorehabilitation Unit (NRU) provides Level 1 NHS England funded rehabilitation for people over the age of 16 with the most severe life-changing brain and spinal cord disorders.

People admitted to the Unit have a range of disorders including the most severe form of stroke (which may have required neurosurgery to remove a large part of their skull to allow the brain to swell and recover), traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries, brain tumours, infections of the brain (encephalitis or meningitis) or inflammatory brain disorders such as catastrophic relapses due to Multiple Sclerosis.

The NRU is an 18 bedded inpatient unit where individuals stay for 3-6 months whilst they undertake their rehabilitation, with the aim of optimising their function and enabling them to return home and participate in life roles. Many of our patients are young and are in work or have parenting roles, it is therefore essential to work not only with them but also their families or carers to minimise the impact their devastating condition or injury has on them and the people around them. The team on NRU are made up of specialist rehabilitation nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists, social workers, rehabilitation assistants and the Medical staff comprised of Neurologists, Rehabilitation Physicians and Neuropsychiatrists. We aim to help the person with all aspects of their life including communication, thinking skills, mobility, personal care and leisure or work roles.
 

Outpatient therapy
 
Patients attending the outpatient therapy department are referred to us by a consultant at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. Adults of any age or level of disability with neurological conditions are seen. Individuals may be seen by one or more therapists from physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or speech and language therapy.

We care for patients with neurological conditions including:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Genetic disorders
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Neuropathies
  • Spinal cord lesions
  • Stroke

Ongoing care is usually provided by the patient's referring neurologist and GP.

We know that physical activity and exercise play an important role in the management of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This can be challenging for many, so we have created a series of educational videos to help you.
