Principles of Rehabilitation Nursing:

1. To restore health of patients through intensive treatment given by various rehabilitation personnel (including doctors, nurses and allied health professionals) through interdisciplinary approach and cooperation of patients and family.
2. To encourage patients to participate in rehabilitation programme so as to facilitate their recovery.
3. To assist disabled persons in developing remaining physical, psychological, cognitive functions and social skills so that they may be more independent, may live in personally satisfying environments, and may maintain meaningful social interactions.
4. To prepare patients for useful, productive and happy living in community.

To fulfil the Principle One of Rehabilitation Nursing, our hospital is using an interdisciplinary team approach. The team includes doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietician, speech therapists, clinical psychologist, medical social workers and orthotists. Moreover, other than the case doctor, various specialists will be involved to help to restore the health of patients e.g. rehabilitation consultant, urologist, colorectal surgeon and geriatrician etc.. Based on the spirit of interdisciplinary team approach, there are many activities e.g. Grand outing, seasonal parties and conferences e.g.

case conference

will be held together by different team members.

    To fulfil the Principle Two, Three and Four, our nursing staff had developed many education programs, training programs and activities to facilitate the patients to re-integrate into the community smoothly and easily. Such as

    bowel training programme

    bladder training programme

    medication education programme

    behavioural modification therapy

    skin care

    wound care

    health education

    birthday party and weekend movie show

    Encourage patients to have home leave during weekend is another special feature in MMRC. This is to prepare patients to adapt to their future life after discharge.
