Who are we?
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.
Members of the team
The administrative team will be the first people you speak to when phoning our office. They can answer any questions you may have or will ask a therapist to speak to you if they are not able to help.
Physiotherapists support you with your ability to move and complete physical activities, for example, improving your walking or use of your arms. They also assess balance and help to reduce your risk of falling.
Occupational therapists assess your thinking skills and support you with activities of daily living such as washing and dressing, driving, and returning to work.
Psychologists support you and your family with changes in emotions, behaviour and thinking skills, and help with adjustment to your different circumstances.
Speech and language therapists assess and advise about swallowing difficulties and provide support for communication difficulties with therapy, aids, or advice for your family.
Dietitians provide nutritional advice to boost and improve your eating and drinking to help you achieve your rehabilitation goals.
Nurses support you and your family with advice and guidance about your diagnosis. This can be through basic investigations, secondary prevention advice and long-term management ideas.
Social workers can set up packages of care if needed, help with financial worries, and support carers.
Technical instructors provide rehabilitation together with the rest of the team, giving support to help you practise exercises and activities.
What do we do?
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.
How long will it last?
We provide support for as long as it is helping you to meet your goals. Your goals will be reviewed regularly to monitor change and progress and this will help guide when you will be discharged.
How do you access support from the Community Stroke and Neurological Rehabilitation Team?
Your GP, Consultant, social worker, or any health professional can refer you to the team for an initial assessment. If you have been seen by the team before, you can contact us for a review at any point in the future.
