Within Botleys Park there are many disciplines providing education, occupation and medical care for the residents. There is a large occupational therapy department which provides work for many of the adults and a school, run by the local education authority, for those children able to attend. There is also a very active psychology department, which has made a valuable contribution to this project, a keen social worker team, a speech therapy department and a large nursing staff.
