Partnering with us

Partnerships - INS cannot do its work alone. The best possible outcomes for our clients can be most effectively achieved from a joined-up approach that utilises the resources from a wide range of providers, both statutory and voluntary.

INS already works in partnership with many organisations through referral routes or sub-contracting arrangements, but we want to go further. We want to develop links with other voluntary organisations where we co-develop services that can be tailored around the client's needs and be delivered at the place that best suits them.

INS clinicians are trained to deliver care in a varied environment, from the home and community based setting through to a GP surgery and hospital, so providing services in a community hall or even a meeting room should be no barrier to undertaking an assessment, running an exercise session, or providing emotional support and information.

Likewise with statutory organisations. INS will work more closely with the NHS Community Neurological Rehabilitiation Team (CNRT) in Richmond, to develop smoother referral care pathways. We will liaise with CNRT to ensure that when they have discharged the patient after a prescribed time limited 6-10 weeks intervention, they will be referred to INS to develop and deliver a holistic long-term health and social care programme that is simply not available to them on the NHS.

INS provides training to medical students from St George’s University of London. Many of our clients and carers act as expert patients in these sessions, giving talks and speaking individually to students. INS offers student placements to trainee therapists. We also deliver a range of training sessions to carers, volunteers and partner organisations.

  • What is a neurological condition?

    A neurological condition is a disease, illness or trauma that affects the central or peripheral nervous system. Examples of symptoms include paralysis, tremor, cognitive difficulties, muscle weakness, poor coordination, loss of sensation, seizures, confusion, pain and altered levels of consciousness.

  • Our Staff Team

    The INS Team includes 13 staff, both full-time and part-time, with generous support from our many volunteers. Sarah Vines began work at INS in August 2020 as our Chief Executive and Clinical Lead.

  • Groups and activities

    INS offers a variety of long term and short-term groups. Some of these groups are for people with a specific neurological condition, while others are open to all neurological conditions. Our groups focus on different areas; some are exercise based, others focus on managing symptoms, while others provide you with an opportunity to try out different activities.

  • Volunteer opportunities

    INS welcomes anybody who is willing to offer their skills and some of their time to assist us in all areas of our work. We already have a team of invaluable volunteers who help us in many ways but we are currently looking for more support.

  • Where we work

    Integrated Neurological Services (INS) provides support primarily to people who live in the London boroughs of Richmond and Hounslow. However, we may still be able to offer support to people living just outside this area (eg. in Kingston, Wandsworth, Ealing) who are within reach of our base in Twickenham.

  • Donate

    Your donation can make a difference to the lives of people with a neurological condition. Donate, hold an event, take part in a challenge - whatever you can do will make a difference.
