Neuro rehab in Sydney cord can be affected by a wide range of conditions that impact function. Infections like meningitis or encephalitis, traumatic injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and neuralgia can all lead to ongoing disability. Neurological rehabilitation is the process of regaining function following these events.

The Westmead Brain Injury Rehabilitation Service (BIRS) is a multidisciplinary inpatient and outpatient neurological rehabilitation service. It is the only tertiary referral service for patients with complex trauma and severe or profound cognitive impairment in NSW. The service consists of an inpatient program, transitional living program and community rehabilitation team which serve patients from the Westmead Hospital Local Health District, Nepean, Blue Mountains and Central Sydney Local Health Districts and beyond.

“Exploring Neuro Rehab Services in Sydney

A recent scoping review was undertaken to determine the amount of physical rehabilitation that individuals with long-term neurological health conditions receive in the community. Findings indicate that a great deal of unmet rehabilitation needs exist. Providing accessible and meaningful rehabilitation in the community can improve self-perceived quality of life for those with long-term neurological conditions, and increase patient engagement and empowerment.
