For further information on the above, please read this brief Commissioning pdf



How to calculate the WBD currency

UK ROC has developed a basic Tariff Calculator using Excel that allows for the easy conversion of Occupied Bed Days (OBD's) into the mandated currency of Weighted Bed Days (WBD's).


Please feel free to use the Tariff Calculator (2023/24) or contact UK ROC (LNWH-tr.ukroc@nhs.net) for help (eg to ask for the complexity profile of the Service, etc).



UK ROC ICB Service reports

UK ROC has compiled introductory regional reports for ICBs outlining their Specialist Neuro Rehabilitation Services. We hope that these documents will be useful as ICBs plan for the provision of these services both regionally and nationally. These reports contain only a small subset of the information within UK ROC. Please do contact UK ROC (LNWH-tr.ukroc@nhs.net) for further information if required.
