The Integrated Care Team Therapy (ICTT) is a community rehabilitation service providing therapy for patients in their own home or care home to help them to improve or maintain their independence as long as possible.
We are a team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and therapy assistants dealing with a wide range of conditions such as neurological, respiratory, orthopaedic and mobility issues including falls. The service provides person centred care with a ‘What matters to you’ approach to support people to reach their own personal rehabilitation goals.
You will usually be referred by your GP or other healthcare professional.
Referrals are made via Single point of access (SPA).
If you have any questions about our service, please contact SPA on 0114 2266500 pressing option 2.
When we receive a referral for you, we will text you to let you know that you will be receiving a call from us.
We will normally contact you/relative or carer by phone within 2 working days of receiving your referral to understand ‘What matters to you?’, what issues you are having and how we can help.
We will either book you into a face-to-face appointment or redirect you to another service if we have identified something that other teams can help you with.
The face-to-face appointment involves us visiting you in your own home to assess your needs and working with you to meet your rehabilitation goals.
We will endeavour to provide care which promotes a person's dignity and self-respect, regardless of racial group, origin or nationality, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, political or religious beliefs.
We have a zero tolerance to all forms of abuse and decisive action will be taken to protect staff and patients.
We will ask you to put any animals, excluding assistance dogs, in a different room. We also ask that you provide our community staff with a smoke free environment during the visit. This is for the safety of staff.
We will arrange a morning or afternoon appointment with you, and you will be able to have relative or close friend or carer present.
If your first language is not English, we have access to interpreters to support you.
We will discuss any issues which you are having and assess your balance, muscle strength and everyday activities to devise a personalised programme for you.
We can provide suitable equipment to support you to remain as independent as possible.
A GP or health professional usually refer you.
We are a 7-day service, and our hours are 8.30am-6pm.
We will arrange a suitable am/pm appointment with you. These can be texted to you.
‘You have given me my independence and self-worth back and I can’t thank you enough. You are an amazingly efficient and professional service and have made such a difference to me living my life with these awful disease’.
‘What an excellent patient service and experience J provided. She careful estimated my range of movements, physical & mental state and listened to any concerns I had. She provided good and sound advice and, on each visit, worked with me on a personalised exercise programme. Without her there is absolutely no way that I could have progressed to returning to the normal day to day activities I had done prior to my operations’.
‘She focused on my difficulties, set clear, challenging but achievable targets. She was always encouraging, totally understanding my individual difficulties & personality. Her skills & abilities in my opinion, were exceptional. My confidence and increased skills are the result of her focused, encouraging, approach. For the first time, I wanted to exercise and looked forward to each session. She was always so happy & positive’.
