Shropshire Enablement Team
Brief description of service
Shropshire Enablement Team (SET) provides a specialist health rehabilitation service in the community for people of working age who have been disabled by accident, or illness. There are four main diagnoses seen by the team:
- Head injury due to trauma
- Brain injury due to stroke, encephalitis, or tumour
- Progressive neurological conditions, such as MS, MND or Parkinson’s Disease
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME
Where is the service provided?
The service is provided in a variety of settings: people’s homes, clinics, hospitals, client workplaces, colleges and day centres.
When is the service provided?
The service aims to meets people’s differing needs at the distinct stages in their illness/ disability. For example, after an acute episode such as a stroke, it is often necessary to get involved soon after discharge from hospital. With longer term conditions, we see people as their needs change, e.g. returning to learning or employment, moving home etc.
