How do I refer?
Referrals are received from consultants, GPs and other health care professionals, and a recent summary of medical history is required with each referral.
What happens next?
Once referred in to the Adult Ability Team, your case will be allocated to the most appropriate professional to your need. You will receive a referral acknowledgement letter in the post, along with a team leaflet detailing the roles of each professional, and what to expect from the service.
In due course you will be contacted either by post or telephone with the offer of an appointment.
Who might I see?
The multi-disciplinary team consists of Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Specialist Nurses, an Assistant Therapy Practitioner, an Integrated Support Worker and an Administrator with a counselling background.
Where will I be seen?
You will be seen in the community – usually at a local clinic or at home.
What happens after the treatment programme?
Once you have completed an agreed treatment programme, an end of episode letter is completed. Following an end of episode you are not discharged from the team, and you can re-contact the service for advice and further intervention as changes to condition or situation occur.
