Attendance Criteria

Patients attend day therapy one day a week for a short period of usually no more than 10 – 12 weeks which gives us the opportunity to help a patient to manage their symptoms

They are introduced to various techniques, which are tailored to their individual needs, to help them take greater control over their condition and as a consequence give them more control over their lives
