Climate change is a major threat to our health — and as the biggest employer in the country, we’re part of the problem and the solution. We’re setting up an expert panel to see how and when we could get to net zero — and we need your help! #GreenerNHS 🌍♻️ https://t.co/xFuhCp7RWE

2016 - 2019 Unfortunately, there has been almost no change in the access that stroke patients have to expertise in clinical psychology, although its importance within the stroke multidisciplinary team (RCP Guideline for Stroke 2016) - SSNAP 2019 AOA Report

[David Hargroves 💙 @HargrovesDavid]

One of the key requirements is that we first all ask about psychological well-being. All too often one may focus upon physical disablement: failing to appreciate the complex and imperative of mental health to rehabilitation & well being. Message from patients: #thelivedexperience

That's fantastic! Great to hear what our patients say. Thanks to you and your team Jenny

[Jenny Langdon @jenny_langdon2]

Loving the opportunity to chat to patients and their families about their experience with the Stroke Service as part of an improvement project. A patient told me today that the team are ‘the best thing since sliced bread’ 😍 @LucySpring4

[Lucy Spring @LucySpring4]

So proud of all the hard work going into the improvement project at South Petherton Stroke rehab unit. The nursing and therapy teams are working with such energy and enthusiasm to be one integrated team to give our stroke patients the best opportunities to recover - amazing!

[Stroke Europe @StrokeEurope]

In 2019, the Stroke Action Plan for Europe 2018-2030 was translated & published in Ukrainian language and it was endorsed by the Ministry of Health. The MoH established a Working Group on stroke and commissioned drafting the legislation.

It's been fantastic getting the support from your team Jenny - we're really listening to our patients now and not assuming we're doing the right thing! Thank you!

[Jenny Langdon @jenny_langdon2]

Busy planning some exciting projects with the Stroke Service to gather patient feedback from different parts of the pathway, as part of a wider quality improvement project @LucySpring4

#OPA2019
Honoured to be at @MusgrovePark @SomParNHS our people awards 2019, every member of the stroke team at South Petherton has been nominated by a patient for the #patientchoiceaward. Completely touched. Good luck to everybody! The buzz in the room is incredible.

[Derick Wade @derickwaderehab]

Rehabilitation in the UK is not thriving. At BSRM/SRR (Bristish Society of Rehabilitation Medicine and Society for Research in Rehabilitation) Warwick meeting I suggested a political way forward. The arguments are shown here. May or may not be relevant elsewhere.

[Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow]

A really interesting and important observational study, definitely worth a read and further discussion amongst our HASU team. Clinically a question we come up with all the time - SSNAP requires cog assessment but not everyone is testable @drjkwan @EmPlayfair @GJenschPsych

Simon Stevens: On the topic of the day, the NHS belongs to everybody, I am formally asking leaders across the NHS to make Brexit operational planning the highest priority over the next two months. #Expo19NHS

[Our Somerset @our_somerset]

#HomeFirst is 2 today, but there are still some people who may not be aware of the amazing things they do to help people home. The team from @SomParNHS, @MusgrovePark, @SomersetCouncil & @YeovilHospital helped put together this video to explain!

[Lucy Spring @LucySpring4]

It's great to get such fantastic feedback from our patients. The whole team at South Petherton and in the community do a wonderful job.

[Lucy Nicholls @LucySomerset]

Lovely comment from a patient of our #NHS stroke service at South Petherton:

"You lot really make a difference. I even can remember when the cleaning staff cheered me up one morning when I was down, so when I say everyone I mean everyone!"

[Lucy Spring @LucySpring4]

@hayleypeters @MusgrovePark @longrunparkrun @SomParNHS @parkrunUK You'll love it!

Returning to work is a big step following brain injury. It's up to you how much you share but good communication with employers and colleagues may make the process easier. Find our more about returning to work here: https://t.co/Le52QELxEk

Last weekend I made an easy read display about Occupational Therapy and the OT Process to demonstrate my understanding of our patients' needs and the role of OT in my placement setting (LD/MH). Couldn't resist a timelapse ...! @DerbyOT @DerbyOTsociety @RCOTStudents
