Hatfield
Home visit physiotherapy in Hatfield.
Neurological and elderly rehabilitation at home across Hatfield and the surrounding villages, in the Welwyn Hatfield district.
Coverage
Where we visit in Hatfield.
Hatfield town, Old Hatfield, Birchwood, Roe Green, Welham Green, Brookmans Park and Essendon.
Hatfield is worth treating separately from St Albans, because it sits in a different NHS trust — and that changes who is responsible for rehabilitation once someone is home.
Postcodes: AL9 and AL10. There is no travel charge anywhere in our standard coverage area.
Local NHS services
Coming home from hospital in Hatfield.
Hatfield is served by East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, not the West Hertfordshire trust that covers St Albans. This is the single most useful thing to know when you are trying to work out who should be calling you.
The New QEII Hospital in Welwyn Garden City provides outpatient clinics and an urgent treatment centre open daily, but it has no A&E. The nearest A&E is the Lister Hospital in Stevenage, which is the trust's acute site.
So an emergency admission from Hatfield usually means Stevenage, followed by discharge home and a handover to community services in the Welwyn Hatfield area. If you have been ringing St Albans City Hospital trying to chase physiotherapy, that is very likely why nobody can find the referral.
Hospital and trust arrangements change. This describes the position as at August 2026 and is offered as general orientation, not as advice about your own care — your GP or hospital team can confirm what applies to you.
How we help
What we are usually called about.
- Stroke rehabilitation. Regaining movement, balance and walking after a stroke, at home in Hatfield.
- Elderly rehabilitation and falls. Balance training, strength work and walking confidence for older adults.
- The gap after hospital discharge. Assessment and a programme in the weeks before NHS community physiotherapy begins.
We are a home-visit practice, so everything happens in your own front room, on your own stairs, with your own furniture. That is not a compromise on clinic-based treatment — for balance, walking and falls it is the more useful setting.
Questions we are asked about Hatfield.
Do you cover Brookmans Park and Welham Green?
Yes. Hatfield, Old Hatfield, Birchwood, Welham Green, Brookmans Park and Essendon are all within our standard area.
Mum was at the Lister in Stevenage. Do you still cover us?
Yes. We come to the house in Hatfield regardless of which hospital she was in. We can share our assessment with the East and North Herts community team with your consent.
Why can nobody tell us who is arranging the physio?
Hatfield sits in East and North Hertfordshire, while nearby St Albans sits in West Hertfordshire. If the enquiry has gone to the wrong trust it will not find the referral. Establishing which trust and which GP practice is involved usually unblocks it.
Working with the NHS
Alongside, not instead of.
Using private physiotherapy does not remove your NHS entitlement and does not take you off an NHS waiting list. You keep your place.
With your consent we share our assessment and programme with your community team, GP or consultant, so they inherit a measured baseline rather than starting from a blank page.
When NHS input starts properly, most families reduce or stop. That is the intended outcome, and we will tell you when we think you have reached it.
