The Integrated Community Therapy team (ICTT) aims to provide a flexible, holistic client centred community rehabilitation therapy service that meets the diverse needs of Haringey population through increasing people抯 independence and improving the quality of their lives. We are a team of specialist therapists and rehabilitation practitioners who work with Haringey residents, over the age of 18 with physical, cognitive or communication difficulties to maintain and promote independence in their own home or local community. Therapy goals are agreed upon and worked towards over a period of time. Clients may be seen by one or more members of the team depending on need. Most people are seen in their own home, local community or at the health centres in the borough.

There is an open referral system so clients may be referred to us by the GP or nurse, from social services or a hospital using Haringey抯 central referral process. Clients may self refer directly to the service, however additional medical information may be sought before assessment. We do recommend that if a client has never had input from our service they should request a referral from the GP.燫eferrals are screened within 1 working day of receipt and prioritised.
