Recovering from a stroke requires time, patience and expertise, which is exactly what we can give you at our specialist stroke hospital. When you come to our clinic, our team will work with you to create a tailored programme based on your specific situation. As you get better, gain functionality and adapt to new ways of doing things, we will adapt your rehab programme to become more challenging.
Our state-of-the-art facility is designed for people who have had emergency treatment for a stroke and need a calm space to rest and focus on recovering during the crucial following days. We also provide ongoing care for people once they’ve returned home so that they can keep making progress and live life to the fullest.
We work in partnership with our patients and their families to ensure they feel listened to, are involved in their care and feel confident in their recovery journey.
Our multi-disciplinary team is led by Consultant Physicians and Neurologists who hold senior positions in London Teaching Hospitals.
Recovering from a stroke is a highly individual journey, and early access to specialist rehabilitation can play a vital role in helping patients regain independence and confidence. At St John & St Elizabeth Hospital, our multidisciplinary stroke team provides personalised rehabilitation programmes tailored to each patient’s specific needs, goals and stage of recovery.
We offer both inpatient and outpatient stroke rehabilitation, with access to a wide range of therapies designed to support physical, cognitive and emotional recovery. Our team works closely with patients and their families to develop an individualised treatment plan focused on achieving the best possible outcomes. Depending on your needs, rehabilitation may include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and specialist medical support.
One of the key advantages of our service is the intensity of rehabilitation available. We provide access to therapy levels that exceed nationally recommended guidelines, helping patients maximise their recovery potential. Whether rehabilitation begins soon after a stroke or later in the recovery process, our specialists provide expert assessment, coordinated care and ongoing support throughout the rehabilitation journey.
Watch our video to learn about how Dr Sageet Amlani and our Therapies Team helped a patient regain their quality of life.
While on holiday in Switzerland, Kay suffered a stroke, leaving her paralysed on her right side with difficulty swallowing and speaking. Her husband urgently sought the best care and contacted St John & St Elizabeth Hospital.
Through intensive rehabilitation at our Stroke Rehab Centre, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and counselling, Kay regained movement within four weeks. Now, 15 months later, she no longer needs medication, can swim, cycle, and continues to improve.
Dr Sageet Amlani is an expert consultant in Stroke Medicine at St John & St Elizabeth Hospital. In this video, Dr Amlani describes a patient’s journey to recovery following a stroke. Following the acute stroke care in A&E, patients can be referred into our stroke rehabilitation clinic where they will receive a though assessment of their needs.
Dr Amlani explains what inpatient stroke rehabilitation can be like, what personalised 1-2-1 physical, speech and neuro-psychological therapy they will receive and how relatives can play a big part in a stroke patient’s recovery.
