The Capita BEST Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Service provides access to specialists treatments where early intervention will enable an absent staff member to make a swifter recovery and return to work.

The cost of treatment programmes will be met by the insurer. The assessment of patients for treatment will be carried out by a team of independent medical specialists from Kuro Healthcare.

Following a telephone based triage assessment patients may be referred for Physiotherapy, Osteopathy and Chiropractic treatments. The telephone based triage service is used to assess the patient’s needs and if clinically appropriate to arrange an initial assessment with a local therapist.

Treatments are arranged promptly at locations close to the patient’s home or work, depending on preference. All therapists are members of both the Health Professions Council (HPC) and of their relevant professional bodies e.g. The Chartered Society of Physiotherapists. The service provided is private and confidential between patient and medical specialist. No details of treatment are released to the employer.

It is currently accepted through evidence based research that if rehabilitation is started earlier and the patient is focused on playing an active role in their recovery through support techniques, literature and reassurance, the majority of people will recover quicker and with less intervention. Capita BEST offers this support service to ease patient recovery and return to work.
