Clinical neurorehabilitation services at Queen Square
INPATIENT SERVICES
- NEUROREHABILITATION UNIT (NRU) QUEEN SQUARE
Who do you treat? ? The Neurorehabilitation Unit at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery is an 18 bed Level 1 in-patient unit which is commissioned to provide complex specialist neurorehabilitation. It predominantly admits patients from across North Central London and the wider region who are in hospital with acquired neurological impairments. This includes patients with stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, CNS inflammatory disorders, spinal cord lesions, neuropathies and a range of neurological disorders. It has particular expertise in the multidisciplinary management of patients with complex neuro-disability, both physical and cognitive, requiring in-patient neurorehabilitation. The aim of the NRU is to optimise individuals’ physical, psychological, communication, social and vocational / educational function through provision of a focused, responsive multidisciplinary inpatient service.
What services are available? The NRU offers specialised rehabilitation for patients who would benefit from integrated multidisciplinary rehabilitation involving at least three of the NRU therapy disciplines (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and psychology) in addition to medical and nursing input. We also have a dedicated social worker who can work closely with patients and their families when required. Discharge planning proceeds in parallel with neurorehabilitation, working closely with the patients and their families. Each patient’s length of stay is defined according to their clinical need and potential, as identified by the multidisciplinary team within the first two weeks. On average this is around 3 months. If at the end of the planned neurorehabilitation period it is not possible to complete discharge planning, then patients may be returned to their referring hospital or another suitable location.
Guidelines for admitting patients to the NRU: We admit patients with complex specialist neurorehabiltation needs that cannot be met in a local or Level 2 setting. (1) In practical terms, the person needs to be able to tolerate activities in sitting position for at least two hours twice daily, and to participate in a goal-oriented rehabilitation programme. (2) Patients must therefore have sufficient exercise and skin tolerance to participate in an intensive rehabilitation programme. (3) Patients should ideally be above 18 years of age. Patients between 16 and 18 years of age will also be considered provided it is felt that the NRU meets the needs of the patients better than any other service. (4) Patients must be medically stable. A patient must meet the criteria listed above on their day of admission to the NRU. With regards to patients whose medical condition is fluctuating, the referring medical team must ensure that such a patient is re-assessed prior to the patient's transfer and that they still meet the admission criteria. Patients who are medically unstable on arrival will be transferred back to an acute inpatient bed. Patients with significant cognitive or behavioural difficulties who would require a specifically resourced and specialised programme to focus on these areas may not be suitable for NRU admission. For patients of this type, we can advise on other specialist rehabilitation services which may be more suitable. We do not accept patients with predominantly functional neurological symptoms, or those determined to be in a Prolonged Disorder of Consciousness.
Who provides the clinical service? Clinical services are provided by a multi-disciplinary team which is led by a Consultant Neurologist, a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, a Consultant Neuropsychiatrist, a Consultant Occupational Therapist, a Consultant Physiotherapist, a Consultant Speech and Language Therapist, a Band 8b Neuropsychologist, a Social Worker, and a Charge Nurse. There is access also to music therapy and art therapy.
How are referrals made? Referrals are made via the Badgernet online referral system, to which linked hospitals have access. Organisations which do not have access to this system can also make referrals: please contact the NRU administrator on uclh.nhnntherapyrehabadmin@nhs.net with any enquiries.

SPECIALIST NEUROREHABILITATION SERVICES
- UPPER LIMB NEUROREHABILITATION SERVICE
The Queen Square Upper Limb Neurorehabilitation Programme is an NHS service that was started at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in 2014 - more detail here
Who do you treat? Patients with neurological upper limb deficits.
- The focus of the intensive 3 week upper limb programme is achieving individualised goals relating to functional tasks, as well as setting people up to continue with their improvement after they leave.
- The intense goal-directed nature of the programme is best suited for people with some forward reach and at least the beginnings of thumb and/or finger extension.
- The key is the ability to participate in goal-directed training and so those with stiff and painful shoulders and/or problematic spasticity in wrist and fingers are likely to need these problems managing before considering admission to the programme.
- Please consider whether people will tolerate a 3 week intensive programme, considering conditioning, fatigue, cognition.
- It is a day-attender programme and so most people will need to be relatively independent.
What services are available?
- Assessment and advice on symptom management.
- Where approriate, we can offer a place on the 3 week upper limb neurorehabilitation programme at Queen Square - more detail here
Who provides the clinical service? The service is run by Professor Nick Ward (Consultant Neurologist), Fran Brander (Consultant Physiotherapist), and Kate Kelly (Consultant Occupational Therapist), all with expertise in assessing and treating upper limb problems.
How are referrals made? GPs should refer via the NHS electronic referral system using the following information

- VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION
Who do you treat? Adults with a neurological disorder who are finding that their condition/symptoms are impacting on their ability to do their job, find work, or study.
What services are available? This is a specialist vocational rehabilitation service that looks at how your diagnosis impacts on work, and works with you to find solutions to the problems your diagnosis creates at work or study. Once we receive your referral we will contact you by letter or phone to advise you as to our waiting list or to offer you an appointment. At your first clinic appointment you will meet a multi-disciplinary team who will take details of your history, find out about your current problems and needs, prioritise your areas of difficulty, discuss with you the options for your therapy and treatment and identify a treatment plan/goals and time frame, and refer you on to your local service or other services here at NHNN if this is more appropriate. We may ask you to fill out some questionnaires to help us monitor our service.
Having agreed a treatment plan we will work with you to solve the problems that your diagnosis creates in your ability to work/study. We will also help you and your employer to identify any reasonable adjustments that may be suitable to enhance your working life. Often we will offer to meet with your employer or come and work with you to solve difficulties.
At the end of your planned treatment you will be given a period of time where you can come back and see us in case problems arise (open access).
Who provides the clinical service? A Consultant Neurologist will review the diagnosis and how this impacts on work.
A Clinical Psychologist will assess any changes in thinking skills and how this may affect your work performance. The Clinical Psychologist is also interested in your adjustment to any new challenges and can offer help with coping strategies and mood difficulties related to these challenges. There's also a focus on your identity at work and the factors that may influence your confidence and self-esteem.
Occupational Therapists will assess how any difficulties you have may affect everyday working and how these may be managed, e.g. fatigue, physical adjustments and time management. They can also do a work analysis and pinpoint what strategies you may implement that could improve your working life.
We may refer you to our Physiotherapy and Speech and Language colleagues if these are people who could help you.
Together these professionals will help remove any barriers that interfere with your potential to achieve what you strive for in spite of your neurological diagnosis.
