Goal Setting

Goals and objectives are central to the rehabilitation process for the following reasons:

  • It is an important and effective motivating factor for the patient
  • It helps guide therapists towards actions that the patient wants
  • Measuring outcome against patient-specific goals is a potential means of evaluating treatment
  • It helps to ensure that the actions of multiple people and services are coordinated
  • It reduces the risk of overlooking important treatments

Our multidisciplinary team works closely with patients, their families and/or carers to identify realistic goals and the most effective way to achieve them.
