What we do

Our services have been developed over a decade of collaborating on vocational rehabilitation, including people with severe injuries and complex needs

Rehabilitation

We visit every client in their own home and arrange work, school or college visits as appropriate.

We design a specific rehabilitation programme with each client, tailored to their individual needs and circumstances. Every aspect of the intervention is done with the client’s active involvement and builds towards a specific outcome. We aim to complete our involvement in each case within an appropriate timeframe – even in complex cases – and set regular reviews and progress targets.

Once we have accepted a client’s case we expect to work with them all the way through to completion of rehabilitation. The client has continuity of care and all involved parties have direct access to us by phone and email. The occupational therapist /case manager is fully and personally accountable for progress and outcomes of rehabilitation. We are mindful of the medico-legal context in which we work and therefore try to make our intervention proportional to the seriousness of the injury sustained.

Our rehabilitation aims

Communication & consent

Your consent is required for doctors and health professionals to share medical information. This allows our case managers to support you better and manage your case effectively.

Feedback

If you’re happy with our support, we’d love to hear from you. Let your therapist, case manager, or solicitor know, your feedback helps us to help others.
