Powys teaching Health Board are in the process of developing a Neurological Conditions Delivery Plan for Powys in line with the National Delivery Plan published by Welsh Government on 8th May 2014. The delivery plan has 7 themes:
1: Raising awareness of neurological conditions
2: Timely diagnosis of neurological conditions
3: Fast and effective care
4: Living with a neurological condition
5: Children and young people
6: Improving Information
7: Targeting research
The development of the plan is being coordinated by Michelle Price, Consultant Therapist for Stroke and Neurorehabilitation. Workshops have already been run for health board staff, service users, carers and third sector organisations. Further feedback and information would be welcomed from service users, carers and third sector organisations on what is already being done to support people with long term neurological conditions, what gaps in services there are and also what knowledge and skills are available in the community to support the implementation of this plan. The plan will be published in September 2014.
If you feel you are able to contribute to these discussions or have experiences that could help inform any service developments please get in contact with Michelle by e-mail at Michelle.price2@wales.nhs.uk or by telephone on 01686 617207.
