But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS.
Three measurements will tell me if the stroke hospital is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?
- tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
- 30 day deaths? Better than competitors?
- rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?
Health chiefs say vital changes to stroke services are saving lives - South Tyneside and Sunderland
Since all acute inpatient stroke care
was centralised at Sunderland Royal Hospital in December 2016, there
have been major improvements in clinical outcomes for patients. Sentinel
Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP) data shows the quality of
stroke services has risen significantly, with more patients now
receiving timely care, delivered by specialists, in a dedicated acute
stroke unit.
Patients from
both South Tyneside and Sunderland now have access to seven-day
specialist stroke services and, as a result, are being seen far quicker
by medical and nursing staff, which means they can start their
rehabilitation sooner.
Claire
Challoner, of South Shields, credits the service with saving her life
after she suffered a stroke in May 2018. She said: “It was the most
terrifying experience of my life but from the moment I arrived at
Sunderland Royal Hospital I felt I was in safe hands and I knew that
they would look after me. I am so thankful that I had such a fantastic
team who gave me the treatment I needed so quickly.
“They have this amazing organised structure for every single thing they
do and you can tell that they love their jobs. I was very lucky that I
had them looking after me and the million little personal touches made
all the difference to what was a traumatic experience.”
