This paper explores the African concept of ubuntu, and its potential to influence our thinking about the delivery of long-term health and social care within a neurorehabilitation context. Particular consideration is given to the potential importance of achieving longer-term social connectedness for clients and their relatives after neuro-rehabilitation interventions have finished. A short case vignette, and a hospital-based practice report, are provided as two examples to illustrate some of the key points made. Incorporating some aspects of the philosophy of ubuntu could potentially help neurorehabilitation programmes to include the reduction social disability as a more explicit longer-term goal for outcome.
