Re: DMRC Headley Court Epsom
Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre Headley Court (DMRC Headley Court) is an 85-acre (34 ha) United Kingdom Ministry of Defence facility in Headley, near Epsom, Surrey, England which is used as a rehabilitation centre for injured members of the British Armed Forces. Facilities Rehabilitation staff average around 200 per year from all three services' medical and nursing branches. It comprise specialist medical officers, nurses, remedial instructors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, a cognitive therapist, social workers, engineers, and administration support staff. Not only has it dealt with patients with new physical disabilities but also with patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. The rehabilitation areas of the unit consist of hydrotherapy pools, gymnasiums, and workshops for prosthetics. The high, wooded countryside setting and grounds of the unit helps staff and those recovering; Headley Heath and the North Downs Way share the escarpment and there is a high concentration of woodland wildlife. The 28 bed Peter Long Ward has single showers and nursing staff on call 24 hours a day, internet access and a kitchen area with washing and drying facilities for clothing. A further large ward opened in September 2010 of 30 beds, rest areas and equipment. Headley Court was in need of further facilities, particularly a full size swimming pool, as patients had to share a leisure centre in Leatherhead. The charity Help for Heroes was set up in late 2007 for aising money to build these facilities. A new gym, swimming pool and lower limbs treatment area opened within two years.
