Therapy Services
The Therapies Department here at the Countess of Chester
Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is located in the Pink Zone, on the
Ground Floor of the General Wing.
The department incorporates Dietetics, Occupational Therapy,
Physiotherapy, Speech and Language Therapy and Paediatric Therapy.
The service currently employs over 100 clinical staff and has its
own integrated administrative and clerical department.
Therapists provide a comprehensive service to both in-patient and
out-patients. In-patient therapists work within specialist teams
and provide input to all wards. The out-patient therapists are
based within the hospital, as well as providing a service in local
GP surgeries, schools and leisure centers.
All qualified members of staff are nationally registered with
their governing bodies, links to which can be found at the bottom
of this page. The department aims to provide the highest possible
standard of care for our patients, achieving this through
continuous professional development and by maintaining up to date
evidence based practice within each of our areas of specialty.
