We are a community based multidisciplinary service that is highly committed to providing specialist neuro-rehabilitation for the adult residents of Islington.
We promote independence whilst maximising safety and managing risk. We aim to minimise impairment, while enhancing activity, participation, wellbeing and quality of life, striving to be responsive and accessible in providing high quality integrated client centred services. We agree therapy goals with people and work towards these over a period of time.
