Inpatient rehabilitation

The NRU is situated at the back of the QEUH across from A&E and in front of the Langlands building. It is a ground floor bungalow. 

The ward operates a flexible visiting in line with NHSGGC visiting policy.  We would encourage visitors to come out with meal times and timetabled therapy sessions where possible.

Please contact the ward to find out more details.

NRU operates with a multidisciplinary team approach. This means lots of different professionals come together to work as a team to promote your recovery.

• Nurses
• Health Support Workers
• Rehabilitation Medicine Doctors
• Physiotherapists
• Occupational Therapists
• Neuropsychologists
• Speech and Language Therapists
• Dieticians
• Orthotists 

Patient’s may not need to see all of these team members as some may be more relevant to your condition than others.   In addition some patient’s may be provided with mobility aids (walking aids, wheelchairs) to increase independence, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that this will be long term.

Once a patient arrives in NRU we will create a therapy timetable. We encourage patients to take responsibility for attending therapies but will support as required. It is useful to let friends and family know the timetable as visiting should be arranged around therapies and mealtimes. The intensity of therapy is usually greater than in other wards.

We provide some input as a group-based intervention or undertaken alongside other patients.

• Comfortable clothing for gym-based rehab e.g. trousers, long skirts, shorts, t-shirt and trainers.
• Walking aids or splints.
• Glasses, contact lenses, hearing aids.
• Toiletries.
• Puzzles, music devices, games, books, magazines

We have a mix of single and 4 bedded rooms. The allocation of each is based on patient need and may be subject to change during a patient’s hospital stay.
