Rehabilitation and recovery: a person-centred approach

10. Summary

The Once for Scotland approach sets out a framework for the delivery of ambitious and person- centred rehabilitation that aims to meet the increasingly complex rehabilitation needs of individuals across Scotland.

The Six Principles of Good Rehabilitation provide a contemporary lens through which to identify what good rehabilitation looks like. The principles can support the delivery of rehabilitation that is both tailored and meaningful with the frequency, intensity and method of delivery that is right for individuals and communities. Delivering on the Six Principles of Good Rehabilitation should make quality rehabilitation accessible to everyone who needs it.

The publication of this approach marks the delivery of the 2020 commitment to produce a strategy to support quality rehabilitation. It builds on the Framework, the work of the NABR and the publication of the two self-assessment reports.

Moving forward, the focus will be on how we deliver on our commitments and implement this work. The implementation will support individuals to address their rehabilitation needs and support rehabilitation service regeneration and recovery post-COVID.

Only by working together to deliver this can we achieve the ultimate aim of ensuring all adults who require rehabilitation have timely access to the right information and services, in the right place, to support them to participate as actively as possible and enjoy the life they choose.
