It should be viewed as a flagship project providing technological advances and transformation of NHS rehabilitation services. It will have the facilities to treat patients and also train and educate significant numbers of staff in this field and integrate research and innovation in rehabilitation to provide new practical solutions for patients. The NRC will be a pilot site for a new clinical model and proof of concept, which will then be rolled out nationally.
