Introduction

In this course we will examine 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. We will consider the range of rehabilitation infrastructures within the global context and consider the rehabilitation team, their individual roles and how they come together to work as a team. This course will outline some of the possibilities for the organisation of services and discuss the merits and drawbacks of different structures.

As a physiotherapist in a hospital setting, I have been significantly enriched in working effectively in a team and learned the different considerations to build a solid and successful team. It has guided my ability to do well in intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary teams.

I am an Occupational therapist, and I have gained a lot from this course, including learning about teams that I have never worked with but could be very important in different settings. I learnt about teamwork and having a shared treatment plan. It was a very educative course every rehabilitation team member needs.

This course taught me how to work with other professionals when drawing a client care plan and how much a client can benefit from such a multidisciplinary plan with one professional implementing it.

The course was rich, and I learnt a lot. It gives you the freedom to read and study on your own time and is based on evidence-based practice. It contained plenty of details.

The whole course was extremely insightful! There are many terms that we often use interchangeably. But, in this course, each term is defined and demonstrated with clarity using examples to understand various levels of care, health settings, types of teams etc. Also, beneficial strategies to deal with challenges in providing effective rehabilitation during the Pandemic were provided. Loads of information are relatable, and at the same time great to reflect upon so that together we can bring on /promote positive change.

This course has been a mind changing experience in how I see the whole rehabilitation process and how important it is to not only stay up to date in techniques but in human/social relationships. Everyone should take the time for participating here too, no matter your profession, we all are part of the team and our goal is the same.

This has been an illuminating course and the value of this should not be under-estimated. The diversity and yet core fundamentals of rehabilitation mean that deepening and widening your perspective through this course will assist everyone even those who feel they work in a well resourced and supported environment.

It is a great course! I learned about the different types of teams in health care and what attributes foster good health teams. Also learned about the different infrastructure that makes up the health care system. What really stood out to me is the relevance to the pandemic. This course touched on how COVID has affected the delivery of rehab and ways in which health care professionals can continue to assist and deliver rehab services in new and innovative ways.
