OK, I've read the article twice and what does it actually mean? What exactly is going to change, be available, what's on offer?
We live about 3 miles from Salford Royal (previously called Hope hospital, generally know locally as abandon hope) and neither my mother nor my wife has had any involvement with them concerning their AZ.
Salford's main AZ centre is the Humphrey Booth centre in Swinton or Woodlands in Little Hulton both of which they have attended.
Does this mean SR is making a grab for AZ care just like they've closed down every other NHS site in Salford to create this giant.
I look forward to finding out what “It will support people to live, full, active and meaningful lives,” and “To do this we believe that we will need to change everything, from the transport systems, emergency services, shops and workplaces, and health and social care.”
actually translates into in our lives, I note they're going to "improving support after diagnosis", improving on nothing won't be difficult.
