The Support and Expertise You Need

To be seen at this interdisciplinary clinic you need to be referred to us by a GP, Emergency Medicine or Urgent Care Doctor.

If you have recently suffered a sports related concussion you may be better suited to our Sports Concussion Clinic.

How does it work?

  • Introduction
    First, you will be assigned a team member who will meet with you to understand your needs, and what assessments are required to better understand your concussion.
  • Assessments and review
    You will then go through a series of assessments while also having your case reviewed by our team.
  • Bespoke rehabilitation plan
    Based on the results of the assessments, and the recommendations of our team, a rehabilitation plan will be developed specific to your circumstances.
  • Ongoing support
    Your designated team member will then work with you during your rehabilitation, check you are progressing as we expect and ensure you get further support from our team if/when required.
