A HOSPITAL which supports men with brain injuries is part of a network of services which has been named best neurological care provider at the Neurological and Complex Care Awards.
The award, given to Cygnet Health Care, recognises the organisation’s exceptional neuropsychiatric rehabilitation services and commitment to improving the lives of people living with complex brain injuries and neurological conditions.
Cygnet operates ten specialist neuro services across the UK - including eight hospitals and two residential services.
Its services include Cygnet Pindar House, on Upper Sheffield Road, a 22-bed neuropsychiatric care and treatment service for men affected by acquired brain injuries.
Dr Matt Rowett, consultant neuropsychiatrist at Cygnet Health Care, said: “This recognition reflects the dedication and expertise of our multidisciplinary teams across the UK, delivering specialist assessment, neurorehabilitation and longer-term neuropsychiatric care for people living with complex brain injury and neurological conditions.
“As part of Cygnet’s neuropsychiatry service, I’m proud to see our collective commitment to quality, innovation and person-centred care acknowledged at a national level.”
Across its specialist services, 93 per cent of discharges were to more community-based settings, enabling individuals to step down to less restrictive environments.
Judges reflected how outcomes also show a 50 per cent reduction in behaviours that challenge and a significant reduction in psychotropic medication use within the first three months of admission.
Rachael Chamberlain, business development director, added: “We are all incredibly proud of this achievement.
“It is a testament to the hard-working and skilled staff across our neuropsychiatric rehabilitation services who, through outstanding care and treatment, make a real difference to the lives of individuals affected by neurological conditions.
“Each day, they help people to achieve the best possible outcomes.
“Cygnet Health Care’s award-winning neuropsychiatric rehabilitation services continue to lead the way in evidence-based, person-centred care, transforming outcomes and empowering individuals to live more independent, fulfilling lives.”
