The Katie Piper Foundation – Rehabilitation Services

You can work on your rehabilitation together with our specialists online, through our Rehabilitation Service. This is conducted over video calls (sometimes called ‘tele-rehab’), as one-to-one sessions mainly and complemented with group sessions.  We’re open for new referrals.  Please get in touch about services if you’re a survivor, or to refer patients if you’re a health or social care worker. As a registered charity, you will not be charged for these services, we will work with you on funding options.

Our Rehabilitation Centre in Merseyside is a key part of our Rehabilitation Service.  At the moment, it is on pause as we plan how best to re-open a safe and reliable service. Following being closed because of disruptions due to the pandemic, we face lots of challenges as a small team, so thank you in advance for bearing with us. Please do still get in touch about in-person rehabilitation as we can start to get to know you and your in-person needs, and sometimes start assessments for an in-person Centre visit.

All survivors can have a tailored programme of specialist physiotherapy, survivor-to-survivor support, goal-focused activities, counselling and well-being. It will be designed with you at the heart of it and in consultation with your existing networks, including your NHS burns team.

For some survivors, in-person care at our Rehabilitation Centre will make a huge difference.  We recommend a stay of multiple weeks and you will experience activities off-site as well as hands-on and machine assisted scar management. This is paired with support over video and phone calls either side of the stay, and during.  For others, a fully digital service will be the best suited and have the biggest impact.  Whatever the nature of your bespoke programme, working together will lead to improved independence and stability.
