Therapies Department

 

The Walton Centre Therapy Service provides a range of specialist care for patients recovering from complex neurological injuries and illnesses, complex trauma and pain related conditions. The service also provides outpatient support for patients living with both newly diagnosed and longer-term neurological conditions.

Working alongside dedicated medical and nursing staff, we provide a range of specialist therapies to help patients in their recovery and rehabilitation. These therapies include inpatient physiotherapy and occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, nutrition and dietetics.

The inpatient teams cover all wards and critical care and will accept referrals for any patients who require assessment and treatment to optimise their physical function and mobility, their speech function and their nutrition. We aim to ensure patients receive appropriate, individual treatment to aid in their recovery and to support a safe and effective discharge home or transfer of care.

Inpatient teams are divided into the following services:

  • Acute inpatients
  • Critical care/Outreach respiratory
  • Trauma therapy
  • Rehabilitation
     

Specialist outpatient teams support the following services:

  • Neurological Long Term Conditions Team
  • Physiotherapy Botulinum Toxin Service
  • Pain Management Programme (PMP)
  • Pain and neuromodulation
     

We provide the highest quality of therapeutic care within our resources in a manner which respects the dignity and individual rights of the patient. We will use and evaluate current research and evidence whilst monitoring and assessing our own interventions to ensure a high standard of appropriate, up-to-date and effective care.

We are committed to lifelong learning and development of staff and students, and we actively encourage participation in clinical research and take an innovative approach to delivering clinical care.
