• have orthopaedic conditions of the upper and lower body, including hip or knee replacement surgery, lower limb amputation or recovery from fractures
• are suffering from a prolonged illness, multiple injuries or respiratory conditions
• are recovering from an acute illness or injury, and
• would benefit from a period of rehabilitation.

Patients work with a team of healthcare professionals including:
