Have your say on improving Community Neurological Services
We wanted to hear about people’s experiences of the Community Neuro Rehabilitation Service and start a conversation about what a new service could look like.
Brief description of project
The Community Neurological Rehabilitation Service provides specialist rehabilitation support for adults in Leeds with neurological conditions such as Multiple Scoliosis, Stroke, Parkinson’s and people who have experienced a trauma to their brain. Over the last few years there has been increasing demand with long waits to access the service. This engagement will contribute to a wider review exploring new ways of working to try and address the challenges.
Who did we speak to?
We spoke to 66 people in total, these included current and past service users, carers, members of the public who haven’t heard of or used the service before.
What and how did we ask?
We asked people to share their thoughts and experiences of using the community neuro rehabilitation service in Leeds and ideas of what a new service could look like. The questions we asked patients, public and carers were all designed specifically within areas they could influence.
What did people tell us?
We spoke to 66 people, who told us:
• People prefer to be seen in local community hospitals rather than big general city hospitals
• People from diverse communities need more assurance as to what to expect when arriving at a hospital setting
• People need to be given a range of options to access the service
• Carers, friends and families want to be more involved
• People want better communication whilst waiting to access the service
