A NEUROLOGICAL rehabilitation unit based at Kendray Hospital in Barnsley can now deal with complex cases from other regions after receiving a new accreditation.
The unit, run by South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, includes specialist facilities to meet the needs of patients with brain injuries and tumours, spinal injuries and long term conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
It has been accredited by the UK specialist Rehabilitation Outcomes Collaborative (UKROC) which is part of a Department of Health programme which aims to develop a national database to collate information about inpatient rehabilitation.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
