'The treatment pathways, from diagnosis to rehabilitation, are at best fragmented and, in too many areas of the country, absent.' @IshmaelBeckford is among the signatories of a letter calling for more investment in neuro care in the Times: thetimes.co.uk/article/times… #RightToRehab
'In light of the positive news regarding treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, it is important to note that there 600+ neurological conditions that have an impact on the brain, its spinal cord and the body’s nerves, affecting more than 11 million people in the UK. These conditions kill more people than cancer and cardiac problems combined. However, neuro specialists are a rarity — the care of those affected by neuro conditions is predominantly delivered by non-specialists. This is unique to neuro and unique to the UK. We do not tolerate A&E without specialists in heart attacks or broken bones yet only 13% of the 227 hospitals with major A&E departments possess full neuro units. The treatment pathways, from diagnosis to rehabilitation, are at best fragmented and, in too many areas of the country, absent. Whatever we decide to spend on healthcare, patient data needs to drive its allocation according to need. This group of patients should no longer have their care allocated to others'
