Our Services

We offer a range of assessment, treatment and advisory services. Patients can be seen:

As an inpatient
As an outpatient
On a day care basis

We also visit patients on an outreach basis - in other hospitals, in residential and nursing homes, and at home.

Within the Centre we have a variety of specific clinical services, including:

Neurological Rehabilitation - To help people with any neurological and neuromuscular condition
Prosthetics - To help people who need a prosthetic limb, providing rehabilitation both at outset and for the rest of that person's life
Orthotics - To providing orthoses for anyone who needs it, whatever their underlying condition
Oxfordshire Wheelchair Service - To provide wheelchairs and seating to people with mobility difficulties
Rehabilitation Engineering - To provide engineering solutions to people with disabilities
Specialist Disability Service - To provide management of complex disabilities for people in Oxfordshire and other parts of the country

We also offer specialist services and an expert consultancy service.

Our hope is that all of our services are flexible, responsive and centred on the needs of the patient. We have specifically developed a system of setting goals with the patient to ensure the most efficient and effective delivery of therapy. This is mainly used for inpatient rehabilitation.

About OCE

The Oxford Centre for Enablement (OCE) was established in 2002 when a number of services, including the Rivermead Rehabilitation Centre and Ritchie Russell House, were brought together under one roof to help patients move more easily between services according to their individual needs.
