Our aim is to equip and support all those involved in providing rehabilitation to optimise recovery from injury, ill health or living with long-term conditions.

How do we achieve that?

At the forefront of policy and practice

We're actively engaged in research and policy making, working with a range of professional bodies to influence rehabilitation in practice. Our education reflects that, with some pioneering new courses designed in response to current healthcare initiatives.

The School is staffed by lecturers and researchers with many years' experience of teaching. Most of us are registered chartered allied health professionals involved in rehabilitation, and we work closely with clinical services in south-west London and beyond. We also have a number of visiting professors and clinical specialists, bringing further expertise from across the health and social care sector.

A commitment to research

We're committed to producing research of international quality generating new knowledge about all aspects of rehabilitation, including translational research and working closely with clinical services. So all learning is based on the best available and most contemporary evidence.

An interprofessional approach

Successful rehabilitation depends on the collaborative efforts of a range services and practitioners. We provide an interprofessional learning environment where you'll have opportunities to learn and share with others from across health, social care and a wide range of life sciences, preparing you to work in partnership with a variety of colleagues.
