THE UNIT
Neuro-Rehabilitation Unit
This unit forms a major division of The Wellington Hospital. Occasionally, spinal and neurosurgery patients need complex rehabilitation support, so our Neurosurgical Unit is linked with the comprehensive multi-disciplinary treatment programmes offered by the Rehabilitation Unit to maximise patients' functional abilities and assist with psychological and emotional support in adapting to disability. We are recognised as the independent sector's premier centre for the care of patients with neurological conditions including head injuries, spinal cord injuries and strokes. We also provide comprehensive therapy programmes for patients suffering from conditions as varied as amputation, post complex neurosurgery and post critical illness.
Our patients are looked after by Senior Neurologists specialising in Rehabilitation, all of whom are at the top of their profession and most hold senior positions in London's renowned teaching hospitals. The other specialist staff members are among the most experienced in the UK at treating the most challenging medical conditions.
The unit itself, which has an international reputation for the excellence of its work and multi-disciplinary approach, has forty-five purpose-designed en suite rooms, many of them with balconies and extensive views over London. Every room is equipped with hoists and all the facilities to make each patient's stay as comfortable and as convenient as possible with plenty of space for visiting family members and friends.
Across three floors of the Wellington's North tower, there are extensive therapy areas that include two gyms, a hydrotherapy pool and other areas where patients can practice the skills that will help them return to life at home.
We welcome patients from all over the world and each patient has a unique rehabilitation programme to match their own cultural and community needs.
