What makes us unique?
We have worked hard to refine our strong multi-disciplinary approach - lecturers,
therapists and care staff work in partnership to ensure we meet the education,
goals and aspirations and therapy requirements set out in EHCPs. We are not a
shared resource - we exist solely to provide excellent standards of care for our
young adults.
'The maximum waiting time for NHS non-urgent, consultant-led treatments is 18
weeks from the day your appointment is booked or when the hospital or service
receives your referral letter.'*
At St Elizabeth's, young adults can been seen and assessed by a member of our
therapy team within 24-48 hours, often avoiding long community wait times.
