Scientific title
Study objectives	The principal objective of this project is to carry out a pragmatic randomised controlled trial to address the question: what is the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of day hospitals compared with home based rehabilitation for elderly patients? In the first phase of the project, lasting 1 year, the validity of the research question and the feasibility of the proposed study will be examined through scoping analysis, comparison of national survey data recently collected by members of the research group and a pilot study. Potential clinical partners for the second phase of the study will be systematically identified and recruited, during this stage using the survey analyses to provide clinical sites with co-incident day hospital and community rehabilitation services. Provided that the scoping analyses and pilot study confirm that the research question can be adequately addressed in the current NHS and sufficient appropriate clinical partners can be identified and recruited then the second phase, lasting 3 years, will begin. In the second phase a pragmatic randomised controlled trial will be carried out in which 680 patients will be randomised to receive either community based rehabilitation or day hospital based rehabilitation.
