We have both inpatients on the neurosciences ward 42 at UHCW and Campion ward at RLSRH. We also have outpatients at both sites.
Campion ward is one of the very few units in UK with expertise in caring and providing specialist rehabilitation programme to patients in vegetative and minimally conscious states following acquired brain injury.
Neurological conditions can have a profound affect on a person. Cognitive, emotional, communicative and/or physical difficulties may be experienced which impact on all aspects of their lives and that of their family and loved ones.
Appropriate input at the right time from a specialist team of clinical staff is vitally important in reducing impairment and coping with lasting effects. Our staff have the expertise to help even the most complex patients regain and acquire new skills to maximise their independence as much as possible through targeting to reduce their limitation of activities and restriction in participation.
