Having a long term condition or long term needs following a severe illness or trauma can result in uncertainty about the future and reduced independence within everyday situations.  Looking after yourself, managing a home, fulfilling family roles or work, education and leisure interests can become difficult or seemingly impossible.  

​

Early access to rehabilitation is proven to reduce your likelihood of further health problems and long-term care needs.
