50th Blog.

This might be the week that Coronation Street had its 50th anniversary but this is also my 50th blog! My first blog entry was on 4th January, 2010. I have used the blog to (1) keep our website up to date by linking the blog entry to the website home page and (2) to send as a newsletter to members of the Kings Medical Practice Google Group.

Currently the newsletter is sent to 53 people in the Google group. About half of the people I send the newsletter to our staff and the other half are patients who we have recruited either because they use our online services or they have said they would like to receive the newsletter when they have registered as a patient at the practice.

In my first blog I said that I want to use 'this Blog to tell you about our staff, our services, our performance and to keep you up to date to issues that may affect either you own health or the health of our patients in Normanton'.

Now seems an appropriate time to get some feedback about what you think about the blog and newsletter - what you would like to see more of, what you would like to see less of. I have made an online questionnaire. Do please click here to complete a questionnaire

I will feedback the results later but now is the time to have your say ....

Thank you.

Stroke Connect, a partnership with the NHS and the Stroke Association provides stroke survivors with support and advice in the early days following hospital discharge, without having to leave the house. Experts have said that the new offer is providing a ‘lifeline’ during the pandemic and has helped more than 500 people to rebuild their lives after having a stroke since it launched last month. Patients are contacted for an initial call within a few days of discharge from hospital, from a trained ‘Stroke Association Connector’, an expert in supporting people after stroke. The connector provides reassurance, support with immediate concerns and links the stroke survivor to support they can access in the long-term as part of their recovery journey as well as signposting them to other sources of support. A further call is offered within the month to check in
