Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) is delighted to have received the keys to the country’s first National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) today and can therefore commence preparations to move our first patients into the NRC in the first week of September.
The Rehab Rowers team - made up of rehabilitation colleagues from across Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and dressed as Super Mario characters - raised double their fundraising target in the Nottingham Hospitals Charity annual Dragon Boat Race.
Chief Allied Health Professional (AHP) for Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH), Duncan Stamp, spent a few hours shadowing our C24 team last week as part of familiarising himself with the service and going back to the shop floor.
The C24 Ward at Queen's Medical Centre has been host to 10 rehabilitation beds at NUH whilst the NRC building is completed.
During his time on the ward, Duncan met numerous staff of all professions, as well speaking to some of the patients currently undergoing rehabilitation on the ward and hearing their stories and experiences.
Two colleagues who set out to cycle 100 miles in one day across the East Midlands and raise money for the National Rehabilitation Centre have successfully smashed both targets despite taking on the challenge in the middle of a heatwave.
Robyn Wiles and Holly Clarke, Advanced Clinical Practitioners at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) and physiotherapists by background, set out to raise £1,500 for Nottingham Hospitals Charity to help fund suitable storage for adaptive hand-cycles and trikes being gifted to the NRC, but have already topped £2,100.
The pair set off from the NRC and made their way through Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, before returning to finish at the NRC, covering a total of 103 miles in seven hours and 18 minutes.
Two colleagues who will soon be working at the country’s first NHS National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC), staffed and run by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH), are taking on a 100-mile fundraising cycling challenge across the four counties served by the NRC.
Robyn Wiles and Holly Clarke, both Advanced Clinical Practitioners at NUH and physiotherapists by background, will set off from the NRC on Saturday 27 June and travel through Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, before returning to finish at the NRC – all in a single day.
The pair hope to raise £1,500 for Nottingham Hospitals Charity through sponsorship to help fund suitable storage for adaptive hand-cycles and trikes being gifted to the NRC.
A Nottingham woman who required complex rehabilitation due to previously suffering two strokes and undergoing multiple surgeries to amputate her leg has thanked the ‘amazing’ staff who enabled her to return home.
Linda Jackson, 67, of Netherfield, had previously experienced two strokes which had left her with very tight muscles down the left-hand side of her body.
Unfortunately, she then experienced complications from diabetes which led to her foot becoming gangrenous and ultimately resulted in her needing an above-the-knee amputation when doctors struggled to control the infection.
The combination of her existing issues following her previous strokes, and the new amputation, caused immense pain and made it difficult for Linda to carry out basic actions. Therefore, she required the help of the team of complex rehabilitation experts on Ward C24 at Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) to enable her to regain her independence and return home to her life.
