[Content Summary]

Welcome to the Neuroscience & Rehabilitation Program Education page for sub-acute rehabilitation wards across Hampstead (HRC) & Repat (RHP). 

This space is where you can learn more about your particular work area. Each ward has a tile for ward specific education resources. There are some additional tiles with resources relative to everyone in the program & across rehab. 

This page will continue to be developed and updated.  

I hope you find this space to be a useful resource. I welcome any comments or feedback and look forward to working together.
