What are their plans on getting better results? Who gives a fuck about delivering high quality care you idiots? Survivors want high quality RESULTS. YOU have to speak up or nothing useful will get done. I would ignore the survey and email Nellie Guttmann at nellieguttman@nhs.net directly

Northern Devon Healthcare Trust appeals for views on proposals to merge North Devon’s stroke services at NDDH
A survey is underway on plans to close the stroke unit at Bideford Hospital and move everything to Barnstaple.
Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust has launched an online survey to find out what people think of the plans to merge stroke services at North Devon District Hospital (NDDH).
The
survey finishes at the end of January, but the planned changes are
nothing to do with the review of stroke services already taking place as
part of the controversial sustainability and transformation plan (STP).
At
present, patients are generally admitted to the Acute Stroke Unit at
NDDH and then are either discharged home or transferred to Bideford
Community Hospital for rehabilitation.
The trust says moving the
Stroke Rehabilitation Unit to NDDH will mean care is more ‘joined-up’
for patients and will reduce any delays which currently take place when
transferring their care to Bideford.
It says the move will also
create a more effective stroke clinical team at NDDH by combining the
expertise of the stroke teams and will ensure every patient receives the
specialist care they need.
The trust has claimed stroke
clinicians feel strongly this is the right thing to do to improve their
ability to deliver high-quality care to stroke patients.
Information about what is being proposed is available on the Northern Devon Healthcare Trust website

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,116 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.
