The Specialist Rehabilitation Service is a nurse and AHP led rehabilitation unit who provide specialist care for predominantly neurological patients with complex rehab needs. We are not a condition-specific service. Therefore, other complex conditions may be considered on a case-by-case basis. We are also proud to be an integral part of the Scottish Major Trauma Network.

We often work with people with brain injuries and a wide range of neurological conditions, but can see any patient who requires intensive rehabilitation from two or more disciplines (e.g., physiotherapy and speech and language therapy).

We have a fantastic team of nurses, nursing assistants, therapists, therapy assistants and clinical psychologists. We also have access to a rehabilitation consultant, pharmacists, psychiatrists and orthotists, as required.

In the therapy team there are physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and dietitians. The therapists are in the ward Monday to Friday.
