YOU need to ask very specifically what their goals are for stroke patients. 100% recovery is the ONLY GOAL. Anything less or excuses needs to be immediately shot down. Survivors can no longer be polite about what we want. We don't want 'care', we want results. GET THERE!
Stroke rehab unit in Sheffield officially opened by visiting MP
Secretary of State for Health and Social Care,
Matt Hancock MP, officially opened the new Stroke Pathway Assessment
and Rehabilitation Centre at Norfolk Park in Sheffield. The Minister was
joined by staff and patients at an official ribbon cutting ceremony to
mark the opening of the centre, which ensures patients who are not able
to be discharged straight home from hospital receive specialist
rehabilitative support, 24 hours a day, at a critical point in their
recovery. The new 30-bedded centre, which is run by Sheffield Teaching
Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is the culmination of a three-year
programme to further improve stroke services in the city. Matt Hancock
said: “The integrated care
I saw today in Sheffield was fantastic. Having this sort of
rehabilitation facility in the community gives stroke survivors the best
chance at recovery, and it was great to see first-hand the different
ways staff are supporting patients, from tai chi to cooking skills. It’s
the sort of thing we want to see lots more of in our NHS.” Interim
chief executive for Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,
Kirsten Major, said: “I am incredibly proud of what our team have
achieved in bringing this new facility to Sheffield. This is the end of a
three-year programme to further improve stroke services in the city,
bringing together a range of healthcare professionals, including GPs,
physiotherapists, dietitians, occupational therapists, speech and
language therapists and rehabilitation nurses, to ensure stroke
survivors get the right treatment at the right point in their recovery.”
