Healthy Leg Brief Report - Joint Lymphoedema
• We hope to role this service out to as many more GP practices as possible with the LCG
funding available to us in this financial year and look for permanent funding.
Development of an early Supported Discharge Service in Stroke Care
• Development of self-management app to compliment 'Bridges' Self-Management
Approach used within the team
• Feasibility study of technology to support/enhance participation in rehab at home
(MAGIC project).
Orthoptics with 10,000 Voices 'Eye Care' Regional Survey
• Bespoke Paediatric Orthoptic Questionnaire is being developed and will then be trialled
• As a result of patient feedback from 10,000 voices, it was highlighted that people with
visual impairments have difficulty in reading staff name badges. Orthoptists in the Trust
are currently piloting name badges with black print on a yellow background. RNIB has
recommended black print on yellow background as the best contrast colours for patients
with sight impairment and they are also known to be dementia friendly colours. Patients
are definitely remarking that they can read staff names more clearly. These name
badges are currently a pilot with the potential to be rolled out regionally.
Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) Led Parallel Clinic, SLT/ENT Service
• The clinic plans to develop in terms of number of referrals from triage by ENT
consultants and to roll out to a 3rd clinic across Trust as need arises. The clinic may
well develop into a Review and Therapy Led Clinic also. Data collection hopes to look
at reduction in re-entry into the ENT Service via the Red Flag Pathway and have faster
throughput of patient recovery once in the SLT Voice Service. The Service also requires
succession planning and assistant support and the possibility of a business case to
increase sessions by another trained voice specialist for secured continued service into
the future.
