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)

We’ve opened accounts for our rehab unit Rowan Rehab (stroke and neuro) and newly operational integrated community stroke and neuro service Dorset Stroke and Neuro Service (DSNS). Great services, passionate clinicians and innovation. We hope to share what we’re getting up to as we continue to grow

💪💪Very excited to have our 1st TRICEPS participant set up with her device and therapy programme today 💪💪 love it when trials work with team improvement priorities- this helps us push forward RTP and UL OCMs as well as exciting trial of TVNS Dorset Stroke and Neuro Service (DSNS) Dorset HealthCare

A bit of drive time listening to finish off the week. Another great StrokeEd lecture with Dr Annie McCluskey Simone Dorsch and others discussing deimplementation of Bobath in response to NCG23. Clear, helpful and gently handled given the sensitivities
