[2] The Wolfson Neurorehabilitation Centre was opened to provide rehabilitation services for Atkinson Morley's Hospital and remained in Wimbledon after the transfer of acute neuroscience services from Atkinson Morley's to St George's Hospital in Tooting.
As well as the neurorehabilitation service, the Wolfson is the location of the south west London branch of Headway, the brain injury association.
[4] The aim is to help patients make the transition from requiring assistance with activities of daily living to becoming sufficiently independent for discharge.
Each patient has an allocated "Chair" (keyworker) who oversees their progress through the goal-oriented rehabilitation programme.
For example, they may have a stroke, head injury, multiple sclerosis, tumour or other acquired neurological condition.
