Our Treatment Philosophy for our Brain Injury Service
Each care pathway is carefully tailored towards individual needs and circumstances. A full assessment by our multi-disciplinary team is conducted upon admission. We evaluate neurobehavioural, emotional cognitive and physical needs to determine which pathway is most suitable.
Presenting problems can include:
• physical aggression
• inappropriate social behaviour
• risk of self-harm
• emotional problems
• cognitive problems
• other related physical problems
Our staff are experts in identifying and understanding the effects created by brain injury, coupled with the resources to assist, educate and facilitate patients in their rehabilitation towards an agreed optimal level of independence.
Our staff work across a trans-disciplinary framework, encompassing a holistic approach to treatment across all disciplines and care is available 24 hours a day to service users.
