The Community Stroke and Neurological Rehabilitation Team (CSNRT) specialises in providing rehabilitation for adults with stroke and neurological conditions.
This will take place either at a local clinic or in your own home, depending on your needs and goals.
Following referral, the team will carry out an initial assessment to find out your needs and look at any goals that you want to work towards. After this assessment, a rehabilitation plan will be made to suit what you need.
You may not be seen by everyone in the team, instead who you see will depend on your goals.
The team consist of
-
Administrative team – these will be the first people you speak to when phoning our office
-
Physiotherapists – will support you in your ability to move and complete physical activities. They may assess your balance and your risk of falling
-
Occupational Therapists – will assess your thinking skills and support you with activities of daily living, such as washing and dressing, driving and returning to work
-
Neuropsychologists – work with you and those important to you to assess your thinking and memory difficulties and your emotional wellbeing.
