Introduction

This course examines rehabilitation infrastructures. There is no single way to develop a rehabilitation service and the physical base, team, structure, scope and range of services provided will vary. This course considers the range of rehabilitation infrastructures within the global context and the rehabilitation team, their individual roles and how they come together to work as a team. It outlines some of the possibilities for the organisation of services and discusses the merits and drawbacks of different structures.
