The service manages patients who may have complex neurological conditions such as Motor Neurone Disease and Stroke, acquired brain injury, long term neuro-degenerative conditions, patients with acute and chronic musculoskeletal problems, fallers, frailty, orthopaedic conditions including post-surgery, and complex multi pathology conditions which may include patients with dementia or learning disabilities.
