Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability

About us

Founded in 1854 by Andrew Reed, we are one of the oldest, independent charity hospitals in the UK. Today we continue as a charity hospital and research centre, caring for adults with complex brain injuries and neurological conditions.

These life-changing disabilities can be the result of a stroke, an accident, a heart or asthma attack or a condition like locked-in syndrome. We provide our patients and residents with rehabilitation, specialised long-term care and innovative technologies – all of which work together to provide a full circle of care.

In addition to being an established specialist in neuro-disability, we are also a charity. Our charitable income enables us to offer extra services and therapies which further enhance the lives of our patients and residents.

These extras include:

• assistive technologies and devices that allow patients to communicate in person and online

• a bespoke wheelchair service that ensures every patient/resident has the right mobility solution for them

• our Leisure and Families Service would normally run weekly interest groups and organise trips/holidays, which sadly has not been possible this year due to COVID-19.

As we believe in looking at a person as a whole, choice and communication are integral to everything we do and the decisions we make. Though levels of ability are different from person to person, we work to provide the best possible quality of life for everyone entrusted to our care.
