And already a complete fucking failure! 'Care' is failure, not a single stroke survivor asks for 'care': THEY WANT 100% RECOVERY! GET THERE!
Send me personal hate mail on this: oc1dean@gmail.com. I'll print your complete statement with your name(If you can't stand by your name don't bother replying anonymously) and my response in my blog. Or are you afraid to engage with my stroke-addled mind? No excuses are allowed! You're medically trained; it should be simple to precisely state EXACTLY WHY you aren't working on 100% recovery protocols with NO EXCUSES! 'Care' is a complete copout!
New neuro rehab team to transform patient care in Cork and Kerry
The launch of two new community rehabilitation teams will see people living with loss of neuro function through illness be able to lead more independent lives for longer with access to therapy closer to home
Patients in the South West of Ireland will see their treatment taken to the next level following the launch of the HSE South West regional Community Neuro Rehabilitation Team.
The HSE South West Community Neuro Rehabilitation Team covers Cork and Kerry with staff based in Tralee and Mallow helping people after serious neurological illness or injury to improve health outcomes, reduce impairment and improve quality of life.
The Community Neuro Rehab team is a specialised rehabilitation service for people who have neurological conditions eg stroke, conditions following accidents or progressive conditions. The team is made of health professionals working together to help clients recover, improve health outcomes, reduce impairment and improve quality of life. The team has a base in both the Gilbert Centre Mallow, Co. Cork and Baile Mhuire Tralee, Co. Kerry.
Launching the HSE South West team at an event in Kerry this week, Minister for Disability Norma Foley said: “This is a landmark day for both Cork and Kerry as we officially launch the regional Community Neuro Rehabilitation team - one of just three pilot teams across the country.
"The work of the team is transforming lives for people with neurological conditions, whether they have suffered a stroke, an injury or have a life-long condition. Locating one of these teams in this region means that the people of Cork and Kerry have access to the best possible care close to home, and when they need it. I have worked closely with the HSE to make this new regional team a reality, and I am delighted to see that there are clear support pathways in place for those who need them.”

Julie O’Neill, an Integrated Healthcare Area manager with HSE South West said: “We are delighted to see the new Community Neuro Rehab Team up and running, and also delighted that they are working from two locations, one in Cork and one in Kerry. The team are changing lives for people who have suffered accidents, stroke or who have lost neuro function through illness.
"The support they provide allows people to regain lost independence. In some cases, their input means that people can live at home for longer. For others, the team’s support means they are now able to walk, to move around their own homes, and to lead full lives. I want to thank everyone involved in getting the team established.”
Angela O’Neill, Head of Disability Services, HSE South West, said: “The team offers a short period of intensive therapy, usually over 12 weeks. Clients are usually seen two to three times a week during that time frame, and get specialist intervention in order to maximize their day-to-day functioning.”
