Network shares transformation of community neurorehabilitation at national meeting

The network attended the National Neurology Transformation Meeting on 29th January in Birmingham. The event, hosted by the Neurology Academy, brought together healthcare professionals to discuss key developments in neurology care.

The event placed a strong emphasis on patient experience, with presentations capturing the lived experiences of people with neurological conditions. These sessions reinforced the importance of shaping services around patients’ needs and Georgina Carr, CEO of The Neurological Alliance highlighted the role of the voluntary sector in supporting the NHS, with health inequalities also covered.

Our Community Clinical Lead, Christine Hyde (pictured) presented our pioneering work transforming community neurorehabilitation services in Greater Manchester. She shared our service model, outcome measure framework, and long-term support model, whilst highlighting the role of the network in driving forward service improvement locally.

The team took along a number of posters showcasing some of our collaborative quality improvement projects. These included work on the Motor Neurone Disease pathway, development of an Functional Neurological Disorder toolkit, a vocational rehabilitation community of practice, our community service model, as well as our patient & public involvement toolkit.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to network with colleagues from across the UK, learn about similar service development work, and share our own experiences.
