They are completed by the applicant (if able to do so) or their next of kin and by the referring doctors.

An assessment day with the multidisciplinary team may also be arranged before a final decision is admit is made.
Adult Rehabilitation
Admissions to these beds are via the Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine. The Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine will decide if an applicant has potential for rehabilitation.
