what makes the care at Burrswood unique?

Welcome to Burrswood, a Christian hospital and place of healing.

"Burrswood is a truly unique place, keeping its promise to care for the whole person in a way which cannot be described in words - it has to be experienced for the profound impact of that promise to be realised.  So often illness is seen as a problem and then you, the patient, become the problem; a broken machine that needs repairing rather than a human being needing to be listened to and reassured; not only a body, but a mind and spirit too."  Quote from a patient August 2011.

At Burrswood we aspire to provide the very best treatment and care for the whole person without regard to their means or beliefs.  

In our hospital we offer:

• Intensive rehabilitation, respite care and post-operative care.
• Short and longer term palliative care with expert symptom control.
• Confidence and expertise in the treatment of CFS/ME.

• Fast-track admissions when possible.
