We are a multi-disciplinary team of health professionals who provide assessment and therapy to patients with any neurological conditions.
We are here to help patients living with a neurological diagnosis to maximise their independence and manage their condition.
We offer a variety of options, including home visits, telephone, and virtual appointments.
Our team is made up of therapists and support staff.
During your appointment you may see an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, stroke nurse, speech and language therapist or a therapy practitioner.
We are community-based and see the majority of our patients in their homes for their first assessment.
Follow up visits will be agreed with you and may be conducted at your home or at other appropriate community locations (for example public gym facilities), over the telephone or a video call.
Our specialist coordinator will contact you to arrange an initial visit which is usually within your own home.
A member of the team will complete an assessment and support you to create a personalised plan to help you achieve your goals and manage your condition. Following the assessment, you may be given exercises, activities, or other treatments as part of your rehabilitation plan.
The number of times we see you is based on several factors, including your clinical need, your goals, and your progress.
We will provide you with advice on how to manage your condition once you are discharged and we may signpost you to community or online resources if appropriate.
If your circumstances change after you have been discharged, you can contact us and we will provide advice on the next steps.
We accept referrals for people with a confirmed neurological diagnosis who are registered with a GP in Arundel, Bognor Regis, Chichester, Midhurst, Petworth, Pulborough and Loxwood. Please get in touch with the service for an up-to-date referral form. See ‘who to contact for more information' for our details.
People previously known to the service, or their carers, can re-refer themselves for a review though we may ask for more information from a doctor.
We work closely with other community teams and sometimes it may be more appropriate for the referral to be directed elsewhere.
