Are AHP consultant rehab units safe?
We compared acute transfers from our rural community hospital based rehab unit and only had 11 in the whole of 2023, lower than many community hospital wards. Many other medical issues were successfully managed on site. (We take pws with NG)

'Rehabilitation services have been seen as the 'nice to have, the icing on top of the cake'.

I fiercely believe that rehab is the icing in the middle of the cake, it cements everything together.'

Powerful words from stroke survivor Paula Leask, “Everyday I asked my doctors if I would walk again.”

Her recovery was slow and she was told “you only get back what comes in the first 6 months.”

“If I had believed that, I never would’ve made the recovery I have.” #UKSF23

Great morning of discussion and action planning with Belfast stroke team to implement the National & NICE guidelines for stroke .
