A woman who collapsed at a flower show and broke both of her legs has become one of the first patients to leave the newly opened National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC).
Liz Mant, from Melton Mowbray, had been at the Rutland Flower Show in August when she collapsed in the heat, and broke her left leg in two places, and her right leg in one place.
She spent almost four weeks at the Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) undergoing operations on her legs and beginning her recovery journey before being transferred to the NRC on 9 September – just a week after it had opened.

The country’s first NHS National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) has announced a major new collaboration with British Cycling and cycle manufacturer ICE Trikes, designed to enable patients with life-changing illness and injuries to discover a new sport and benefit their recovery journey.
As part of the collaboration, ICE Trikes has gifted three hand‑cycles and three adaptive trikes exclusively for patient use at the NRC. In addition, a dedicated British Cycling Rehabilitation Coach will be based at the centre, funded by the Peter Harrison Foundation and with the support of Nottingham Hospitals Charity. Recruitment to this newly created role will begin in the near future.
More than 80 colleagues from the neighbouring Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC) were welcomed to the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) this week for a series of guided tours, giving them the opportunity to see the new facility ahead of the arrival of its first patients next week.
In total, 83 DMRC staff members took part in the tours, alongside 11 members of the DMRC executive team who visited earlier in the day.
