The front of the NRC

The National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) is a 70-bed regional specialist rehabilitation unit serving the East Midlands. It is the first NHS facility of its kind, and is run and staffed by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The NRC is also home to the national training and education centre, and the national research and innovation hub, for rehabilitation in England. The centre aims to transform rehabilitation across the country.

The NRC building has been carefully designed to encourage rehabilitation, recovery and independence, and we have the latest state-of-the-art facilities and technology.

The clinical teams here provide specialist assessment and intensive treatment for patients aged 16 or over with a wide range of conditions requiring specific and intensive rehab.

Our specialist clinical teams work together to help each patient improve their health and wellbeing as much as possible and will support you to maximise your independence, by:

  • Providing a programme of rehabilitation designed to best support your needs.
  • Working with you and your relatives to identify specific and realistic goals.
  • Promoting a 24-hour approach to rehabilitation by encouraging independence in a safe environment.
  • Educating and supporting you and your relatives throughout your time at the NRC and discharge, to enable you to return to a meaningful and fulfilling life.
  • Working in parallel with patients and researchers to provide the best possible care.
