Proposal to centralise stroke rehabilitation beds to create 'centre of excellence' - Abingdon, England

YOU are going to have to scream at them for 'hoping' to improve recovery. Fuck it all, if they don't have a goal and results for 100% recovery they should all be fired. This tyranny of low expectations is not helping stroke patients recover completely.

A HEALTH trust has proposed to centralise its stroke rehabilitation beds in a move to provide patients with a dedicated ward.
The decision by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust will see the 10 rehabilitation beds in Witney Community Hospital move to Abingdon Community Hospital.
By combining both sets of 10 beds into one 20-bed ward, the trust hopes to improve patients’ recovery.
Speaking at its board meeting today, chief executive Stuart Bell of Oxford Health said by creating a ‘centre of excellence’, he would hope to appeal to the desperately needed work force.
He added: “By having a ward completely dedicated to stroke rehabilitation perhaps we could appeal to and retain more nurses.
“It is better than them being expected to work on part of a ward with lots of other things going on.”
