About us

A new approach to case management across the south of England

We are a person-centred, caring and responsive company who puts the needs of our clients first. We work with adults, young people and children, who have suffered catastrophic life changing injuries.

Case Managers
 

Our aim is to help our clients to achieve their maximum level of independence and the highest possible quality of life, for the rest of their life. 

Our wealth of experience, commitment and passion for supporting our clients in achieving their short and long-term goals is demonstrated by our successful outcomes. We strive to provide continuity of care and support for clients who are in a complex and often challenging environment to enable them to reach their maximum level of independence and function and to sustain the highest possible quality of life.

Enabling a better quality of life

The experience and expertise of our case managers enables them to devise and co-ordinate the most appropriate and effective rehabilitation and care solutions ensuring that all involved work together in an integrated way.

We provide continuous support for clients on their rehabilitation journey from relevant qualified professionals, delivering stability, care and compassion throughout the most distressing time to achieve the best outcome for clients. Our case managers are highly responsive to clients and instructing parties, providing excellent communication and regular updates on progression towards the agreed goals.

 

Our services

We deliver services to clients at various stages of their rehabilitation journey, whether from the outset of their claim, pre-settlement or post-settlement of their claim. At all stages, our philosophy of working in an integrated manner with all those involved and ensuring that we are highly responsive and provide effective communication, enables the most successful case management to be achieved.

At ICM, our case managers follow the guidance and professional standards of best practice and conduct of the Case Management Society UK.

By setting realistic goals we enable our clients to address the new challenges presented to them and to look forward with a sense of positivity.

 

The best interests of each individual client are at the heart of every decision that is made along the rehabilitation journey.
