How to make a referral
Please complete the neuro-rehabilitation referral form (Word 105Kb).
Please send your referral by post or email, using the details at the top of this page.
We accept referrals from GPs, health and social care professionals, carers or from the patient.
Referral criteria
We accept referrals for adults over 16 years living in Lambeth or Southwark with a neurological condition, for example: stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, Parkinson’s or motor neurone disease.
Goals for rehabilitation must be identified, for example: to improve mobility, return to previous activities, improve speech, communication or swallowing ability.
Intervention is time limited (normally up to six weeks) and focused on the achievement of goals and self-management of long-term neurological conditions.
Referrals are not accepted for equipment only. Instead, these referrals should be sent to the occupational therapy departments of Lambeth social services or Southwark social services.
