We were thrilled to introduce our revolutionary new walking frame, the Walk Safe, to over 50 physiotherapists attending the annual The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Conference on Friday and Saturday. The reception and comments received about our patented design were overwhelmingly positive including phrases such as "game changer”, “this is what I’ve been looking for” and “why has no one thought about this before?". Susan Bevan, our Clinical Technical Lead, and physio Yara Salame were delighted to attend. Susan said: “This was a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of the Walk Safe, tell the story of how it came about and its development. Many of those we talked to would like to receive samples to evaluate or demonstrate to their teams and it was very rewarding to receive such positive feedback.” #NRSHealthcare #WalkSafe #physio24 #physiotherapy #innovation

We are supporting World Mental Health Day - the internationally recognised day where people come together to talk about mental health and show everyone it matters.   This year’s focus is on the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace and we recognise that sometimes we all need extra support.   At NRS Healthcare, we have Wellbeing Ambassadors across our sites who are trained in mental health first aid. They offer a supportive listening ear and can signpost to alternative help not just today, but every day.   Our Community Engagement Leads based in our Community Service Centres are today highlighting the support available during tea and talk sessions and will be sharing the resources available to all colleagues.

Are you a carer in Brighton? Or, do you know someone who is?   We are hosting a free Moving People at Home session for carers in Brighton, in partnership with THE CARERS CENTRE FOR BRIGHTON & HOVE LIMITED. The session will highlight the importance of back care, provide information on good moving and handling practice alongside a practical element where you can see demonstrations of using moving and handling equipment safely, along with some useful short videos. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about safe practice. Denise, one of our Occupational Therapy Assistant’s with vast experience in this area, will be running the session with Community Engagement Lead Sarah Rodgers, who helps support people to remain independent and safe at home, and their carer’s.   To book, please contact The Carers Centre by emailing events@thecarerscentre.org or calling 01273 746222 and say you’d like to attend the NRS Moving People at Home session.  

What an incredible week it has been! We are still so thrilled and honoured to be the recipient of the Service and Transformation Award from the TSA – The voice of technology enabled care #ITEC2024.   The winning West Sussex hospital discharge service was set up with funding aimed at reducing Hospital Winter Pressures for 3 months. NRS Healthcare technicians were located in local hospitals and able to discharge patients with a TEC Solution on the day, supporting their recovery where they want to be most, in their own home.   So far, the project has:   ➡️Increased availability of beds for the people who need them most.   🏥1153 people benefitting from timely hospital discharge typically 1-5 days earlier than without TEC.   👩⚕️586 practitioners receiving additional information and advice.   ⏱️282 hours of clinical time saved.   📈Savings for the NHS of up to £3.4m.   Due to the success of the project, it was renamed from “Winter Pressures” to “Go safe” as the impact was so positive, funding was renewed and it continued beyond the winter months. The project continues in a similar but improved guise, over 18 months later.   During the exciting 2 days of the TSA ITEC Conference, our team of clinical and industry professionals met with attendees across the TEC Sector discussing ways in which NRS Healthcare can support organisations to deliver a transformative and innovative TEC Service.   Our Clinical Excellence Director Rachel Hutchinson took to the stage to deliver a powerful opening speech at the Gala Dinner in the evening and our Chief Community Services Officer Graeme Fotheringham presented the winners for the Workforce Development Award, which we were proud recipients of last year.   We would like to thank our dedicated West Sussex Team for their incredible work in achieving these amazing outcomes for all people involved, our partners at the NHS and WSCC, and most importantly our service users, who are at the heart of everything we do.   A special mention to the TSA – The voice of technology enabled care for hosting another great event!   If you would like to learn more about the Gosafe project, then please contact our Head Technology Enabled Care Emma Quest or our Head of Innovation and Partnerships James Lampert #NRSHealthcare #TechnologyEnabledCare #TSA #ITEC2024
