Announcing the winner of our therapy unit naming competition

NCH&C’s state-of-the-art, therapy-led unit will open in 2024 and provide a supportive and comfortable environment for 48 patients at NCH&C's Norwich Community Hospital site. Healthcare will be delivered by a multidisciplinary team of clinical professionals dedicated to patient recovery and well-being.
Utilising the latest therapy and rehabilitation technology and practices, the unit will play a key role in the commitment to delivering patient-centred care in Norfolk and Waveney by supporting patients moving from local acute hospital settings back into the community.
