As a specialist disabilities unit we care for younger adults (18-65yrs) with complex needs, both physical and psychological. In particular through the development of our services we have built up expertise in dealing with a number of conditions that need the knowledge and skills of a specialist nursing team.
You can access below more details about some of the more common disorders we cater for. In addition our nursing team have highlighted a selection of the other conditions and syndromes which form part of the services which we currently offer.
Should you need help or assistance in caring for someone with physical disabilities, simply ring our Unit Manager for advice.
