Today @SteveBarclay was in Blackpool visiting:
▶️ @BlackpoolHosp
▶️ @RemedyHealth__
▶️ @NWAmbulance
▶️ the ARC rehabilitation centre
where he met staff and saw the work being done to improve patient care through the use of tech and innovation.
ARC in Blackpool is leading the way in helping people to get back home after a hospital stay.
The positive feedback from patients is a tribute to the hard work of the team.
Services like this are benefitting from our £500m Discharge Fund which is helping free up hospital beds.

Bill ready to view
One month till Christmas

Sorry we missed you

Just a reminder to all clinicians that when a patient tells you their pain is 11/10, or they’re ‘riddled’ with arthritis, or in constant pain 24/7… it often means…
1) Please listen to me
2) I’ve had bad healthcare experiences
3) I don’t know whats going on, or what to do!
Is ITB syndrome a ‘friction syndrome’, or is it related to compression?🏃♂️
