Islington Urgent Community Response Team (UCRT)

We provide urgent community therapy to avoid hospital admission or prevent re-admissions; We facilitate discharges (and Emergency Discharge) where therapy is indicated.

 

The team works in collaboration with adults/older people and their relatives/carers to promote health and maximise independence in mobility. We work closely with acute, intermediate, and primary care services, social and voluntary agencies, to provide seamless health and social rehabilitation for patients.

 

The service is comprised of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation assistants.

 

Service operates: Monday to Friday from 9am – 5pm.

 

Referral pathway is through the Integrated health and care front door. To refer your patients please see ‘How to Refer’ section below.
