School of Rehabilitation Sciences
Our focus is on high quality, evidence based rehabilitation.
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.
