What functions/treatment and therapies are offered?

Getting back to work after someone’s had an accident, illness or injury can be a challenge.  With our help and rehabilitation we can make it possible.  Our facilities offer a simulated work environment where we can help people get used to working again.  This also allows our staff to assess whether a person is ready for employment in the real world or needs a little longer. 

Each service user has a programme of activities tailored to their needs, and they are supported by our dedicated staff which includes a Consultant Neurologist, a Senior Occupational Therapist and three Technical Instructors.  At any one time we usually have 40 people benefitting from the Buckland Centre Vocational Services based in Boscombe.
