About the role:
Rehabilitation in the Armed Forces is delivered in three types of treatment centres:
Primary Care Rehabilitation Facilities (PCRFs):
Patients may be referred to see a physiotherapist at a PCRF, usually based at Defence Primary Healthcare medical facilities. A physiotherapist will complete a detailed assessment within 10 working days of the first consultation and provide treatment and rehabilitation as needed. Many PCRFs have an Exercise Rehabilitation Instructor who can also provide injury-specific exercise therapy and advice on gradual return to fitness.
Regional Rehabilitation Units (RRUs):
If a condition cannot be managed at PCRF level, the patient is referred to an RRU unit in the UK. RRUs provide specialist assessment and opinion through a Multi-disciplinary Injury Assessment Clinic staffed by specialist doctors, physiotherapists, and ERIs. These clinics have access to medical imaging to make accurate diagnoses and develop treatment plans, including additional options like pain management.
Stanford Hall - The Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC):
The DMRC provides consultant-led rehabilitation services supporting military patients with serious musculoskeletal injuries, neurological injuries, and complex trauma. The goal is to maximize functional capability and quality of life, whether patients return to military service or transition to civilian life.
