Health Professions Units are an important part of patient care in the hospital. Their teams work closely with doctors and nurses to support each patient’s medical, physical, emotional, and social needs.
These services include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, clinical nutrition, social work, and other health professions. They support patients throughout diagnosis, treatment, hospitalization, and rehabilitation.
Their goal is to help patients maintain or regain function and independence, prevent complications, improve quality of life, and prepare for a safe discharge and continued care in the community. By working together as a multidisciplinary team, health professionals help provide care that is comprehensive, coordinated, and tailored to each patient.
