Abstract

Rehabilitation services are changing across Britain. The focus of service developments appears to be in relation to community teams and assertive outreach. This leaves the question of which direction rehabilitation services are heading. As patients move into the community from long stay wards as part of the process of bed closures and resource transfer, rehabilitation services are left with changing patient characteristics. In addition, patient characteristics in rehabilitation vary between Trusts. This article explores and expands on these themes.
