On Tuesday 2nd May Ladan and I got into another fully equiped emergency ambulance to travel between the Newcastle General Hospital and The Minories on the other side of the city centre. The Minories is a much more homely environment but still benefits from fully trained nursing staff and from a medical cover persective possibly slightly better connections. The rehabilitation service at the Minories is more basic but should be adequate for Ladan’s current needs, as yet the new physiotherapists and occupational therapists have not met Ladan, The Minories uses staff from the local community disability services for their rehabilitation work and advise, but the care team take on some of the day to day activities that are recommended by these professionals.It is too early to have much to say about the Minories as yet, below are a selection of photographs of Ladan’s new room which you can click on to enlarge.
