Rehabilitation

In advance of the general election on 4 July, BGS has outlined ten asks under three themes that the next Government needs to prioritise in order to improve healthcare for older people.  

This final chapter reinforces the potential of rehabilitation for older adults and reflects on the current challenges of implementation, with some take-home messages.

This chapter looks at the workforce, training and physical space requirements for the delivery of rehabilitation, and considers some solutions to existing barriers.

This chapter links the themes in this report to the touchpoints described in the BGS Blueprint, Joining the dots.

This chapter introduces the report with a foreword, executive summary and a roundup of our key messages.
