Abstract

Rehabilitation has received considerable attention recently, having been the subject of a number of consultations, reviews and policy documents. Despite such activity it is recognized that ‘there is widespread confusion about the meaning of rehabilitation’, with a general failure to clarify aims and objectives. Nevertheless, there is an emerging consensus that the elements of effective rehabilitation include:

- responsiveness to users' needs and wishes

- multidisciplinary and interagency working

- availability when required

- clear rehabilitative purpose and goals
