If you can't come to us because you have mobility problems, we will visit you where you live. Visits are undertaken by the Community Adult Therapy Service (CATS).

You (or your GP, healthcare professional, carer or relative) can submit your details online and we will review your condition and contact you.

However, if you can attend out-patients for physiotherapy, please use their physiotherapy self referral form.

If you are living at home and require occupational therapy then you should refer using the link below.
