Goole Neuro Rehabilitation Centre, Lincolnshire
 |
|
The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT) has joined forces with the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) to establish a new neuro rehabilitation centre based at Goole and District Hospital.
Opened in October 2007, this new facility addresses the current
shortage of specialist provision in this field.

Service users
The model of clinical assessment and rehabilitation is designed to meet the needs of people who require post-acute rehabilitation, where service users are admitted directly from neurosurgical or acute medical/surgical services, and also of those people seeking community integration rehabilitation.
The aim is to provide a continuous link for each individual through their pathway of care from in-patient services through to re-integration into community. back to top
