Therapy services we provide

At Ashgate, patients can benefit from therapy services from physiotherapists, occupational therapists, therapy assistants and an activities coordinator. The therapy service is available Monday to Friday during normal office hours, although it may be possible to arrange appointments outside these hours with the therapist.

Occupational Therapy
Through occupational therapy, our team aims to give patients greater independence and improving their quality of life by providing useful equipment and advice to assist everyday activities. Working with in-patients, day patients, patients at Blythe House Hospice and those in the community, we endeavour to reduce the likelihood of hospital admission and enable speedy discharges home.

Physiotherapy
With the help of physiotherapy, patients can feel better through improved mobility and relief from pain. Treatment also assists with the management of conditions such as lymphoedema and breathlessness.
