Conclusion
We find that students are gradually negotiating a day or more to do rehabilitation counselling within their current post. Two hospital trusts are exploring the possibility of a fuller service. We hope the course will grow and connect with a European network to provide Rehabilitation Counselling to people with chronic illness and disability. As we move towards more holistic models of care this must be a priority.
