Brain injuries, strokes & neurological conditions

Our services

The CNRT provides treatment and self-management programmes for individuals living with acquired long-term neurological conditions. Our goal is to provide a co-ordinated service with specialist staff who will work with you, your family and/or your carers to support your recovery, optimise your abilities and improve your quality of life. In addition to 1:1 therapy the CNRT offers a range of therapy groups and we also aim to work with clients and their carers to ensure that rehabilitation is carried over into everyday activities at home.

The people we see

We provide rehabilitation for any person aged 16 or over with either a Shropshire or Telford and Wrekin GP and a confirmed diagnosis of acquired neurological disability. This could be progressive or non-progressive and may include acquired brain injury, Huntington’s disease, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, multiple systems atrophy, Parkinson’s disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and/or stroke.

New patients

Clients can be referred to the CNRT by their GP, medical consultant or other healthcare professional using our dedicated referral form from our 'For Care Professional' page.

Existing patients

Clients who are already known to the service will have the option to self-refer for additional input in response to a change in their circumstances and/or deterioration in their neurological condition.

Services we do not offer

The Service will not normally see clients with:

• Congenital conditions
• No clear diagnosis
• Functional neurological conditions (somatoform disorders)
• Epilepsy as a primary diagnosis
• Spinal conditions, including Guillain-Barre Syndrome
• Dementia

The Service does not usually accept referrals for clients in nursing homes, except when it is temporary and they are going to be discharged home, or when there has been a change of state and the nursing home is seeking advice. In this instance the CNRT would act as a consultative service to support the delivery of continuing treatment.
