Our services

Specialist ABI Outreach Team (RNRU)

We provide a community-based interdisciplinary brain injury rehabilitation service, with occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy and neuropsychology/clinical psychology to patients with single incident non-progressive brain injury.

We offer a broad range of services, including multi-disciplinary assessment reports, case management, uni-disciplinary work (clinical psychology) and provision of combined care packages. 

Services offered

We work in the community with people who have suffered a head injury, usually as a result of stroke or a traumatic brain injury. We aim to increase clients’ independence, communication and involvement in work, study, leisure activities and interpersonal relationships. Goals are decided between clients, their relatives/carers and the therapists, ensuring that each treatment package is individualised to suit a client’s particular needs. 

Typical active treatment involves therapists and rehabilitation assistants seeing a client in his/her own environment at least once a week; this may last from three to six months. We also provide neuropsychology and clinical psychology. Follow-on treatment involves contact with the client once a month and ensures that the rehabilitation strategies introduced are continued over the long-term.

The service is provided through a public-private partnership with BUPA. Privately funded interventions are available.

Making an appointment

Patients are referred to the RNRU outreach team via their consultant, GP, or community organisations such as Headway, Link Place or Different Strokes. Previous patients can self-refer for a review.
