The Physiotherapy service is also able to provide a referral system to other appropriate agencies for follow up treatment.
All patients are treated by qualified Physiotherapists that are registered, either on a ward, in the Clinical Decision Unit or in the main Physiotherapy Department located at the front of the Hospital near the Emergency Department.
In-Patient Physiotherapy Services – All In-patients that have a specific Physiotherapy need can be referred to the appropriate Physiotherapy team by their Consultant or Ward staff.
