Teams dedicated to helping you make a speedy recovery

Jul 4 2008 by Karen Wilson, The Journal

WE aim to get our patients back on their feet as quickly as possible. The Trust has dedicated specialist teams offering physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, nutritional support and specific dietary advice – offering a more holistic approach than would have been available to patients in the late 1940s.

Physiotherapy

Within our physiotherapy department we treat around 60,000 patients a year working in areas including musculoskeletal, respiratory, orthopaedics, medicine, stroke and elderly care. We offer inpatient and outpatient services across the Trust.

Occupational Therapy

The Occupational Therapy service helps people find invaluable practical solutions to assist them in overcoming problems caused by their illness, such as helping a patient manage daily life activities including washing, dressing, cooking and cleaning.

Speech and Language Therapy

For our patients who have experienced a change in their ability to communicate, our dedicated team of speech and language therapists are here to help.
