Rehabilitation after amputation: how a case manager assists recovery

Julie Marsh, Partner in our Medical Negligence team, is joined by Kate Gibbons, Senior Rehabilitation Case Manager, to discuss the critical role of rehabilitation case managers in helping amputees rebuild their lives after catastrophic injury.Their conversation reveals how case managers support recovery by coordinating multidisciplinary support teams that address everything from medical needs to accommodation, psychological wellbeing, and social reintegration.The conversation highlights how effective rehabilitation continues beyond legal settlement, with many clients initially distancing themselves from interventions, only to return when facing new challenges. Throughout this journey, the most successful outcomes stem from strong multidisciplinary teams centered on the client's evolving needs and aspirations, creating a support network that remains accessible long after the litigation concludes.If you or a loved one have recently had an amputation, contact our medical negligence team to understand how early intervention through case management can significantly improve recovery outcomes and how we can help.Episode links: Visit our website Contact us Personal injury Medical Negligence Asbestos Court of Protection Special Educational Needs
