Case Management
What is a Case Manager?
A case manager is very often appointed as part of a legal settlement. The case manager may come from any one of a range of backgrounds including nursing, therapy, psychology, and social work. The job of the case manager is to ensure that the client's needs are fully identified, appropriate assessments made, targets set and met, resources found, and key people identified, persuaded, and trained.
Such a person should be able to find their way through health care and social service systems and should be able to tap into educational and other community resources.
How do you know you need a Case Manager?
Are you:
- Someone who has had a traumatic injury?
- A solicitor?
- An insurer?
- A relative of someone who has had an injury?
- A deputy?
- A therapist?
- A psychologist?
- A social worker?
If you are someone who has had a traumatic injury, or are their relative, you may need a case manager to bring everything together and make it happen.
If you are a solicitor, insurer or deputy working with someone who has had a traumatic injury, you may need a case manager to assess their needs, refer to appropriate statutory services and access benefits; make referrals as needed to other services and coordinate and quality assure all service inputs.
If you are a therapist, psychologist, or social worker who is not part of a coordinated brain injury team, a case manager can help you to make sure that your patient or client has the best quality social, educational, vocational and clinical services as part of an integrated, coordinated treatment plan, designed to meet your patient or client's individual needs.
In summary the case manager will help the individual and their family get quicker access to more appropriate services, for a better outcome.

Expert Reports
Rehab Without Walls has, from its very beginning, provided expert reports for the Court for both Claimants and Defendants in Civil Litigation. The Directors of Rehab Without Walls, Dr Neil Brooks and Ms Cathy Johnson, had many years' experience providing expert reports prior to the establishment of Rehab Without Walls.
Our area of expertise is in the consequences of brain injury, as a result of trauma or medical negligence, and the consequences of catastrophic injury, including spinal injury.
We currently prepare expert reports in the following areas:
- Neuropsychology and Assessments of Capacity (including completion of COP3)
- Care and Case Management
- Rehabilitation Needs
Our experts produce around 90 reports per year for neuropsychology, and an annual average of 60 for care and case management.
Care and rehabilitation reports are prepared, following a visit to the client in his/her own home or in the hospital or clinic, where they are based. Neuropsychology and clinical psychology reports can be prepared following an examination of the client in their own home, in our offices in Milton Keynes, or in clinics in Manchester and London.
