Community Hospitals
There are 13 wards situated in eight hospitals around Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, providing sub acute, complex rehabilitation and End of Life Care.
Ward 1 at St Luke’s Hospital and Ward 2 at Coalville Community Hospital are both stroke units caring for patients following the acute phase of a stroke.
Medical cover is provided by Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) with consultants visiting the wards twice weekly. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy is provided and all patients receive appropriate therapy assessments, including consideration of their psychological and cognitive needs, provision of goal-led intervention planned with the patient, together with holistic discharge planning. Care is planned, managed and overseen by registered staff with the support of unregistered assistants and technical instructors. Specialist occupational therapy and physiotherapy is provided at the two stroke units. Multidisciplinary care is provided in partnership with other professions and providers.
Adults requiring rehabilitation, palliative and end of life care or sub-acute care will be accepted onto the wards following a handover from the referring ward/GP. Admissions are accepted until 9pm.
