Deans' stroke musings: Doctors call for views on care for stroke patients

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Doctors call for views on care for stroke patients - Redbridge UK

YOU are going to have to reply and tell them to stop talking about 'care' and start talking about RESULTS. tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery.

Doctors in Redbridge are asking for people’s views on proposed changes to the way patients are cared for after having a stroke.
Redbridge Clinical Commissioning Group launched a three-month public consultation on the way rehabilitation services are delivered to stroke patients on Monday, January 11.
A spokesman for the organisation said: “We want to make sure that NHS stroke rehabilitation services in Redbridge are the best they can be, and that’s only possible if we know what’s important to local people(Results), which is why it is so important that they respond to the consultation.“
The proposed changes would mean post-stroke rehabilitation services are streamlined through one provider across the borough.
They would also ensure stroke patients who live in Wanstead get the six weeks of domiciliary post-stroke rehabilitation care(???) recommended by the National Institute for Health Care and Excellence (NICE).
Currently stroke patients admitted to hospital who live in Wanstead are not eligible for early supported discharge (ESD) as part of their rehabilitation.
Stroke Association’s Director for London Michelle Dalmacio said: “ESD enables stroke patients to recover in the comfort of their own homes and can make a real difference to their recovery and confidence.
“Evidence has shown that people on ESD programmes regain their independence quicker and are therefore less likely to end up back in hospital. In this way it supports the NHS by freeing up beds, so this is definitely a step in the right direction.”

The consultation closes at 5pm on April 1. More information can be found on the Redbridge CCG’s website.
