About my charity
NRH Foundation (formerly the National Medical Rehabilitation Trust Ltd.)
The NRH Foundation (formerly National Medical Rehabilitation Trust (NMRT) Limited) is a registered charity. It aims to raise financial support from the community towards projects that will directly benefit the patients at the National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH). The National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH) provides a comprehensive range of specialist rehabilitation services to patients from throughout Ireland who, as a result of an accident, illness or injury require rehabilitation services in the following areas of specialty: - Brain Injury (including Stroke and other Neurological Conditions)
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Prosthetic, Orthotic and Limb Absence Rehabilitation
- Paediatric Family-Centred Rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation Treatment Programmes, as well as Assessments and Reviews, are delivered through our Inpatient or Outpatient Services as appropriate.
Backed by over 50 year’s experience, clinical expertise and a solid reputation for excellence, patients are given every opportunity to meet their rehabilitation goals through personalised treatment plans. Many of our patients will have a life-long relationship with the hospital following completion of their rehabilitation programme. Rehabilitation is a lifelong investment in people; it is an educational process of active change by which a person learns the knowledge and skills needed to enable them to participate meaningfully in family and community life.
