Dr Mamo, Rehabilitation Medicine Specialist will be starting at Hobbs Rehabilitation at Winchester very soon and he’s here to help you!
Rehabilitation Medicine (RM) Consultants work with other medical specialists and healthcare professionals to provide care and interventions for people with complex disabling conditions. The aim of the input is to improve quality of life through management of function and the promotion of long-term social participation.
Rehabilitation Medicine can help Brain Injuries, Stroke, Progressive Neurological Conditions, Spinal Cord Injury, Vascular Disease and Cerebral Palsy – to name a few.
Rehabilitation Medicine Consultants have the advantage of being able to develop a long-term plan of care for patients over months or even years from soon after an acute event, through to discharge and ongoing rehabilitation in the community. This gives the opportunity to get to know the individual on a holistic basis.
If you contact Hobbs Rehabilitation to find out about the Rehabilitation Medicine Consultant service, you will be contacted to discuss your needs and the medical requirements you have. If you wish to proceed, you will then be given an appointment to start the initial assessment.
