Details of Service:
As part of the 'National Strategy and Policy for the Provision of Neuro-Rehabilitation Services in Ireland – Implementation Framework 2019-2021', the HSE is developing networks of Neuro-Rehabilitation Services. The overarching aim of the Strategy is to improve outcomes for people by providing safe, high quality, person-centred Neuro-Rehabilitation at the lowest appropriate level of complexity. This must be integrated across the care pathway and provided as close to home as possible. These services are to be configured into population based Managed Clinical Rehabilitation Networks (MCRNs). The new model would see the introduction of a multi-tiered system, with access to services based on clinically assessed need. All referrals to the network are received on a standardised referral form and processed through a single point of entry through the Network Rehabilitation Coordinator role.
The Community Neuro Rehabilitation Team is an inter-disciplinary therapy team providing a specialised service for adults with a range of progressive or acquired neurological conditions. This team will provide assessment and intensive therapy to people in both their own homes and in a clinic based setting for up to a period of 12 weeks. This service will provide people with earlier access to specialist rehabilitation close to home. The team provides a person-centred service, improving people’s quality of life and working together to support people with neuro-rehabilitative needs.
As this team is part of the Managed Clinical Rehabilitation Network, the newly established Community Neuro-rehabilitation Team will have a significant role to play with respect to evaluation of the service and contributing to further development of the team and the wider Managed Clinical Rehabilitation Network.
