Who Delivers Your Rehabilitation Programme
At the National Rehabilitation Hospital, our system of care is organised around Rehabilitation Programmes and Interdisciplinary Teams.
Rehabilitation Programmes
Consultant led Rehabilitation Programmes at NRH are tailored to meet the individual needs of adult and paediatric patients.
A ‘Programme‘ is defined by CARF as ‘A system of activities performed for the benefit of patients.‘
NRH Rehabilitation Teams
Your Rehabilitation Team – also called your Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) – is made up of a range of specialists who will work together with you to help you achieve your agreed rehabilitation goals. Together with the Team you will develop your rehabilitation goals, then you will work towards your set of agreed goals. This will mean participation in treatment activities and education sessions.
