Welcome to RATA South!

RATA South Ltd was established in August 2005 by Mark Shirley and Andrea Mosley (Physiotherapists) with the view to create a co-ordinated community based rehabilitation team, focused on achieving functional outcomes for people living in the community with injury or illness.

In 2010 Anna Baker, Mark Shirley and Lizz Carrington developed the HEAD START programme in response to research showing that the first five years of a child’s life are crucial for later health & wellbeing.

The RATA South team incorporates Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Nursing, Clinical Psychology and Dietitian assessment and rehabilitation services. RATA South also provides education for support workers and residential facilities for the ongoing management of people with Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury. RATA Kids, focuses on working with children of all ability levels that are having difficulty achieving their physical and academic milestones. The programme covers as many or as few aspects of your child’s development as required and is run by an Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist and Speech and Language Therapist. For further details please refer to the services page.

Our team aims to provide innovative, outcome focused, rehabilitation programmes to assist people to regain and maintain their independence in their chosen environments.

RATA South became accredited to the Allied Health Sector Standards on the 19/03/07. We continue to strive towards developing and delivering best practice.
