Aims of Velaris Integrated Interventions

---

UK Rehabilitation Code: Early intervention, needs-led rehabilitation)

(CQC: Effective, Responsive)

Velaris aims to provide timely access to specialist neurorehabilitation, recognising that early intervention represents a critical therapeutic window.

Our model is designed to:

• Initiate evidence-based intervention within weeks of referral
• Prevent drift while individuals wait for insight to emerge or systems to stabilise
• Reduce the risk of maladaptive coping strategies becoming entrenched during periods of under-provision 

This directly reflects the UK Rehabilitation Code’s emphasis on early, coordinated rehabilitation to optimise outcomes and prevent secondary harm.

(UK Rehabilitation Code: Coordinated MDT working)
(CQC: Effective, Well-led)

Velaris aims to ensure that rehabilitation is led by integrated neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological leadership, with a single, coherent formulation guiding care.

This includes:

• Unified decision-making across risk, capacity,      medication, behaviour, and function
• Avoidance of parallel or siloed professional input
• Consistent translation of formulation into      day-to-day rehabilitation practice

This approach supports both clinical effectiveness and good governance, meeting CQC expectations for well-led, accountable services.

(UK Rehabilitation Code: Continuity and transfer of care)
(CQC: Effective, Responsive)

A core aim of Velaris is to deliver:

• A thorough, formulation-led assessment of need
• A detailed, implementable care and treatment plan
• Clear recommendations for the next phase of rehabilitation

These outputs are explicitly designed to be handed over to other care teams, allowing longer-term or slower-paced services to take over without loss of direction or quality—fully aligned with the UK Rehabilitation Code’s requirement for continuity across providers..

(UK Rehabilitation Code: Balancing safety and independence)
(CQC: Safe, Caring)

Velaris aims to move beyond passive risk avoidance by:

• Conducting proactive, dynamic risk assessment
• Identifying routes to risk reduction, not      just restriction
• Supporting graduated increases in self-determination when clinically appropriate.

This ensures that individuals are offered maximum choice without compromising safety, consistent with CQC expectations around safe, person-centred care and lawful decision-making.

(UK Rehabilitation Code: Preventing secondary disability)
(CQC: Safe, Effective)

Velaris explicitly aims to reduce the risks associated with:

• Fragmented, low-frequency input
• Over-reliance on slow rapport-building in the      presence of active risk
• Delayed intervention while maladaptive behaviours escalate
• 
  

By delivering intensive, immersive rehabilitation, Velaris seeks to prevent:

• Escalation of financial, substance-related, or      relational harm
• Breakdown of support systems

Entrenchment of behaviours that later require restrictive or costly intervention 

(UK Rehabilitation Code: Outcome-focused rehabilitation)
(CQC: Effective, Well-led)

Velaris aims to ensure that rehabilitation delivers:

• Clear goals and measurable progress
• Transparent reporting of gains, limits, and      residual risks
• A defined end-point, rather than open-ended involvement
• 
  

This supports commissioners, deputies, insurers, and families by providing clarity, accountability, and defensible clinical decision-making. 

(CQC: Well-led)

Finally, Velaris aims to operate within a framework of:

• Clear leadership and accountability
• Defined entry and exit criteria
• Robust documentation and outcome reporting
• Honest decision-making about suitability and limits of intervention

This ensures that the service remains safe, effective, responsive, caring, and well-led, in line with CQC standards.
