Dutch term or phrase: zware zorgsituatie
Hi Friends,

I'm stuck with this term, referring to multiple trauma victims. They are NOT talking about the hospital setting, but about everything that happens afterwards: physical therapy, psychotherapy, retraining, making modifications to the home setting, provision of ongoing medical and nursing care, devices such as wheelchairs or aids for working, etc.

Obviously the "zorg" part [care] is not the problem, but the "zware". It's clear that this means "serious/heavy duty", but we need a technical or at least professional register term.

I talked to my client [agency], they have English people working there but they too couldn't come up with anything conceptually all-encompassing and yet reasonably concise, as this occurs about 25 times in the text!!

I need to deliver by 2 pm but in view of the nature of the problem we have until the end of the afternoon to come up with something good ... unless they can convince the client to wait for both parts [there is a second part ...] to be delivered together tomorrow.

So as they say, time is of the essence and thank you very much in advance!!

major remedial care provision
Explanation:
If the care is after the trauma and is to reabilitate then the word remedial encompsses this meaning. The term as you described is wide ranging and involves the person being cared for in all aspects of their life. I know it is a bit of a mouthful, so remidial care programme may be somewhat more succinct. letme know your thoughts.

intensive rehabilitation (care)


Explanation:
This might be a suggestion - there are over 25000 hits on google for "intensive rehabilitation", so you could leave "care" out. A friend of mine who has recently had an accident etc. had to get rehabiliation care. So this is just a suggestion from my own experience. Good luck!
