The Rehabilitation workstream is working towards developing a model of rehabilitation in Trent for patients with a Neurological condition. This is done by:
- Defining a rehabilitation model which takes account of best practice national guidance, clinical standards and quality measures in order to ensure that patients have equitable access to appropriate levels of clinical care regardless of locality and which offers choice to patients where possible.
- Describing a model that is cost-effective and able to ensure patients are admitted when appropriate leading to a unnecessary admissions and a reduction in length of stay.
- Defining a model which is sustainable in a changing healthcare environment and adaptable to the changing healthcare needs of patients and their complex needs.
- Working in partnership with a range of other statutory and other services including the voluntary sector in order to achieve the greatest benefit to patients.
A questionnaire has also been developed which has been sent to a number of service providers in each geographical area to attempt to collect information on all the Rehabilitation services in Trent. Patrick Vesey and Angela Gates will be analysing the results in due course.
