With a population of older homeowners and several care homes, Jay sees a high volume of post-op orthopaedic rehab, falls prevention and stroke work, often supporting discharge from Leicester Royal Infirmary or Leicester General.
In Wigston, patients are most often discharged from Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester General Hospital, Glenfield Hospital. Local community services include Oadby & Wigston Community Therapy, LLR ICB Home First, and Jay is happy to coordinate where helpful.
About this service
The first six weeks after orthopaedic surgery are when you set the trajectory for the next year. The patients who recover best are usually the ones who get hands-on physiotherapy at home, early, and don’t have to wait six weeks for their NHS follow-up.
Jay covers post-operative rehab from Leicester Royal Infirmary, Nuffield Health Leicester, Spire Leicester, Glenfield orthopaedics and BMI hospitals, plus trauma and fracture care from any UK hospital.
