Our rehabilitation case manager says:
“This case required a coordinated neurorehabilitation approach alongside physical recovery. Early neuropsychological assessment identified cognitive challenges affecting attention, memory, and fatigue, which were addressed through structured rehabilitation and occupational therapy input. Regular multidisciplinary review ensured that both neurological and physical recovery remained aligned, enabling steady functional progress and supporting a structured return towards vocational goals.”
Patient feedback:
“After the accident, I struggled not just physically but also with concentration and fatigue. The support I received helped me understand these changes and manage them day to day. The rehabilitation programme made a real difference, and over time I’ve been able to rebuild my confidence and work towards getting back to employment.”
