Burrswood Hospital offers an ideal environment for those whose health is in transition. The typical Burrswood patient is a person temporarily too sick to remain at home but not requiring the intensive monitoring or intervention of a general or surgical hospital.
Unique to Burrswood is a commitment to practise "interdisciplinary care." The Burrswood approach ensures that the healing process embraces all human dimensions including body, mind and spirit.
Burrswood specialises in the unique needs associated with post-operative recovery, physical disability, convalescence, chronic fatigue syndrome, the frail elderly, terminal illness, respite care and a range of psychological disorders amenable to short term intensive counselling in a supportive environment.
Burrswood provides medical and nursing care, with integrated input from counsellors, physiotherapists, chaplains and support staff. Additional expertise is provided by visiting consultants when necessary. There are two resident doctors.
Treatment at Burrswood is time-rich, nurturing and focused on individual needs. The aim is to engender in patients a feeling of confidence and trust.
