Spotlight on: Phoenix Stroke Club
Stimulating group discussion, covering topical or controversial subjects, are a chance to talk about things unrelated to their condition, treatment or care, and offers a fantastic
distraction from this.
During September/October 2018 our Healthwatch Engagement Worker captured the
experiences and views from Phoenix Club members, volunteers and Care Agency Staff (who support the group) about health and social care provision. The stories and views that were shared covered a range of topics.
Key topics people chose to speak about were:
- Mental Health after stroke
- Pharmacies – a strong source of support
- Transport and Mobility issues
- Discharge - knowing where to start and what help is available
- Follow up care and services (GPs, Physio etc)
- Disconnect between services
- Care options
The insight from each person was collated and anonymised and forms part of the insight and evidence that Healthwatch gather to identify common themes around what works and doesn’t work for local people.
