About the network

We use a process of peer and self-review to support our members in improving the quality of their services.

We review our members against our 4th edition standards for inpatient rehabilitation services which we use to assess the quality of services and our 1st edition standards for our community rehabilitation services.

We offer a variety of membership options including developmental and accreditation membership.

All membership options include:

• a report specific to your ward
• the opportunity to be a peer reviewer on organised visits to other services
• reduced rates at our Annual Forum and Special Interests Days
• annual report of how members are meeting the standards
• regular newsletters of what innovative practice is happening in other inpatient rehab services
• being part of our email discussion group.

For further information, please refer to our member handbooks:
