TLDRThe video discusses the stroke care process at Chester Royal Hospital's Eastwood Ward stroke unit. Sue Potter, the stroke matron, explains the integrated approach where acute and rehab services are combined, allowing seamless services from arrival through to post-discharge. Patients are first seen in AE where initial assessments, including crucial swallowing evaluations, take place. Once on the ward, patients receive care from a multidisciplinary team including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and dieticians, aimed at rehabilitation. The newly introduced Early Supported Discharge Service allows patients to receive continuity of care at home, reducing anxiety and improving outcomes. Bob, a stroke survivor, shares his experience of suddenly losing mobility and his journey through intensive rehabilitation, highlighting the skilled therapy team and the small achievements like making toast, which signify significant recovery progress. The video emphasizes the importance of cohesive teamwork and patient-family communication in enhancing stroke recovery.

    The stroke services at Chester Royal Hospital have been enhanced by combining acute and rehabilitation units, allowing for seamless patient care that begins from the moment patients are admitted to A&E. This involves quickly performing vital assessments like swallowing, and starting early care planning and involving family members. Patients benefit from interdisciplinary teams, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists, who are crucial for therapy-focused recovery. The successful collaboration of these teams is essential, as patient needs range from brief stays to extended rehabilitation. An upcoming Early Supported Discharge Service aims to provide continuity of care by assisting patients at home post-discharge.

  • 00:00:10
    you've had a chance to look at how the
  • 00:00:12
    clinical specialist services division is
  • 00:00:14
    involved in the care of the stroke
  • 00:00:16
    patient now let's hear from The
  • 00:00:18
    Specialist stroke matron and Bob a
  • 00:00:21
    patient who has recently used our stroke
  • 00:00:27
    Services my name is Su Potter I'm the M
  • 00:00:30
    for stroke services at Chester Royal
  • 00:00:32
    Hospital on the Eastwood Ward stroke
  • 00:00:34
    unit I worked here for a number of years
  • 00:00:36
    more recently with the new two units
  • 00:00:38
    were combined uh in April 2011 so we
  • 00:00:41
    have acute and Rehab on the same site
  • 00:00:43
    now the process here for when the
  • 00:00:45
    patient is admitted is that we uh will
  • 00:00:47
    attend AE and we will see all the
  • 00:00:50
    patients at the point of them arriving
  • 00:00:52
    which is very beneficial we get the
  • 00:00:54
    chance to hear firsthand of how of how
  • 00:00:58
    the patients been managing it home we
  • 00:01:00
    get to meet the relatives from an early
  • 00:01:02
    stage and it generally um feels that
  • 00:01:05
    that this is beneficial to the service
  • 00:01:07
    you know providing a seamless service we
  • 00:01:09
    also do the uh swallowing assessments as
  • 00:01:12
    soon as a patient comes in which is
  • 00:01:14
    absolutely vital for patients that you
  • 00:01:16
    know to be able to swallow at a very
  • 00:01:17
    early stage um and then once they come
  • 00:01:21
    onto the ward we can then we we already
  • 00:01:23
    know them we've already met them in A&A
  • 00:01:25
    and we've already started the um
  • 00:01:27
    planning of the care that they're going
  • 00:01:29
    to receive whilst they're with us and
  • 00:01:31
    have ched to the relatives at that time
  • 00:01:33
    as well to keep them informed of what
  • 00:01:35
    we're
  • 00:01:36
    doing when the patients first admitted
  • 00:01:38
    they are dealt with by the medical team
  • 00:01:40
    but then very quickly within 24 hours
  • 00:01:43
    they will be seen by the
  • 00:01:44
    physiotherapists and and very soon
  • 00:01:46
    afterwards also by the occupational
  • 00:01:48
    therapists and also the speech and
  • 00:01:50
    language um therapists if the patient
  • 00:01:52
    needs assessment with swallowing or
  • 00:01:55
    communication uh there at that point
  • 00:01:57
    then we very often have to involve the
  • 00:02:00
    dietician uh and the fotus obvious
  • 00:02:02
    involved because uh they routinely take
  • 00:02:04
    the Bloods um and any other disciplines
  • 00:02:07
    uh that work within the team uh
  • 00:02:09
    including the nursing team as well it's
  • 00:02:11
    a large team and the the strength of the
  • 00:02:15
    successful stroke team um are dependent
  • 00:02:18
    on people working very closely together
  • 00:02:19
    so whilst the medical model is the
  • 00:02:21
    initial part of a patient's care the
  • 00:02:24
    bulk of the patient's care is relating
  • 00:02:26
    to therapy and it requires very close
  • 00:02:28
    working relationships within that team
  • 00:02:30
    and we do have a very very strong team
  • 00:02:32
    here who work closely together um some
  • 00:02:35
    patients are here only for a short space
  • 00:02:36
    of time and require sometimes very
  • 00:02:39
    little therapy input uh whilst other
  • 00:02:41
    patients can require a prolonged period
  • 00:02:43
    of Rehabilitation that can go into weeks
  • 00:02:46
    and sometimes months and that obviously
  • 00:02:48
    involves us getting very close to the
  • 00:02:50
    patients and the families and everybody
  • 00:02:51
    that's involved uh with that level of
  • 00:02:55
    care uh what is due to start in the
  • 00:02:58
    beginning of October is the new early
  • 00:03:00
    supported discharge service and from our
  • 00:03:03
    perspective this will um enhance the
  • 00:03:06
    care that we already give and we
  • 00:03:08
    previously piloted it and it was very
  • 00:03:10
    successful and it will involve our
  • 00:03:12
    therapy teams nursing going out to the
  • 00:03:14
    patients at home and supporting them at
  • 00:03:16
    home on discharge and at the moment that
  • 00:03:19
    that's uh quite daunting for the patient
  • 00:03:21
    to go home with uh unfamiliar people and
  • 00:03:24
    we see this will be the gold standard
  • 00:03:26
    for the service that we now provide
  • 00:03:29

  • 00:03:33
