Rehabilitation services have probably declined in capacity, but more importantly have changed in character. That is, they are taking place in a greater variety of settings, for example community based rehabilitation suffered from a drive towards acute care in hospital settings, from declining medical involvement due to pressure on geriatricians to take part in general medical emergency work., the shift of rehabilitation into Intermediate Care settings and reduction in specialist inpatient rehabilitation beds. We believe this to be disadvantageous due to the relationship between disease and disability, and the need to optimise medical treatment to support rehabilitation.

Proposes an approach to service delivery which offers a seamless approach for clients and organisations. The vision is to achieve joint working of an integrated range of occupational therapy services that will bring an end to confusion and duplication for people who need to use them. The strategy focuses on the organisation of statutory service delivery. This means getting occupational therapists with the right knowledge and skills at the right place and time. The proposal is for a community based general practitioner model to ensure an integrated approach that enables services to be developed as a continuum that is responsive to the needs of service users, their carers and families.
