Inpatient Services 

Neurorehabilitation and Neuropsychiatry

Any individual with acquired brain injury or other neurological condition, who has the potential to benefit from assessment and/or rehabilitation, can be referred to the service. This can be done by any health or social care professional.  We offer various streams of intervention including, Neurobehavioural, Neuropsychiatry, Neurorehabilitation, Specialist Prolonged Disorder of Consciousness (PDOC) assessment and cognitive assessments.  In light of the above information, if you still feel your patient is appropriate for our service then please continue.

In order to process your referral without delay, please provide us with the patient’s demographics and answer the following questions on pages 1-4 and return the form in full.  This will aid us in directing your referral to the most appropriate service. Walkergate Park aims to assess patients within 10 working days of receipt of referral as per service specification (NHS Standard Contract for Specialised Rehabilitation for Patients with Highly Complex Needs of all ages) and national standards.
