Inpatients

Our inpatient therapy service covers a wide range of specialities including medical and surgical wards, Critical Care, Major Trauma, Trauma and Orthopaedics (T&O), Medicine for Older People wards, Stroke services and our Emergency Departments

Our inpatient therapies teams consist of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, dietitians and support workers, including assistant practitioners and therapy assistants.

The therapy teams work alongside doctors, nurses, social workers and other staff to assist patients to return to everyday life as independently as possible, and to plan their discharge from hospital at the earliest opportunity.

To support patients further with their recovery outside of hospital, therapy colleagues may assess the patient and refer them to a community team.
