This exciting opportunity has arisen within our Rehabilitation team which provides an acute city-wide service to, Stroke and Older Adult Rehabilitation, Regional Neurosciences, Trauma, and National Spinal Injuries Unit. This post, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital provides input to Stroke and Older Adults in conjunction with colleagues and is supported by dietetic support workers.
Working within these patient groups allows the practitioner to follow the patient’s journey from the acute phase of injury to the rehabilitation phase, as part of the MDT, which is extremely satisfying. We have a large 80-bed stroke unit. There are several ongoing developments within the team at present such as Quality Improvement within both Stroke and Dementia and a review of nutritional input in the frailty OPD pathway. Participation in quality improvement projects is actively encouraged.
