What we do

The Stroke Therapy Team provides specialist stroke services to adults within the acute, rehabilitation setting at both Royal Blackburn Hospital and Pendle Community Hospital. The East Lancashire community stroke team provides rehabilitation for patients within their own homes.

The community stroke team offers group therapy sessions at Pendle Community Hospital. These

The groups are for patients who have problems with balance and difficulties with their upper limb function.

Hydrotherapy sessions are also offered at Royal Blackburn Hospital. 

Our services are delivered by specialist physiotherapists, Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapists and are supported by trainee and assistant practitioners. The community stroke team also has access to a neuro Psychologist. 

The Team work closely with the nursing and medical teams and most referrals are received from the in-patient settings however patients can be referred to us by Consultants, GPs and Social Services.
