North Warwickshire Borough Council now have a disability forum. They hold meetings (with tea and biscuits) for individuals with a disability and carers. They are also working on a webpage with relevant information in one place, such as where to find local support groups or exercise groups. It is worth a look if you live locally 🙂

It would be wonderful if more UK beaches were accessible for individuals with disabilities. If you have a long term health condition or disability, and want to see improved accessibility at beaches, please complete the questionnaire shared below 💙🏖️

Beach Access Project Survey Launch

Today the beach access project is launching the beach access survey which invites people with medical / mental health conditions and disabilities, family members and organisations that work with / and support them, to fill out the beach access survey and share their experiences and challenges related to accessing the beaches environment in the UK.

click https://form.jotform.com/wbehenna/beach-access-project-survey-2025 to fill out the beach access survey or go to

The survey aims to
• Understanding peoples current beach access experiences.
• Identifying what improvements need to be made.
• And if those improvements would enable more people to visit the beach.

The results from the beach access survey will hopefully help shape future policies and infrastructure investments to ensure that UK beaches become more accessible, inclusive, and sustainable for all.

Please can you share this survey with your organisation, networks, and individuals, and support the Beach Access Project vision of “enhancing and improving beach access to enable people with medical/mental health conditions and disabilities to play a meaningful and active role in beach life and blue space.”

Background
The Beach Access Project was setup by Will Behenna, a designer, paddleboarder and wheelchair user based in Dorset.
Having set up inclusivepaddleboarding.co.uk in 2023, he became increasingly aware that access to the beach / sea and other blue space, to go paddleboarding was extremely limited.

He is passionate about enabling people with medical / mental health conditions and disabilities to get out paddleboarding on the water.
Beach access in the UK varies enormously and there are many challenges to consider including the weather, tides, and environment. However, he believes we can do much better to enable everyone to play a meaningful and active role in beach life and blue space.

This highlights the importance of quick diagnosis and medical treatment following a stroke, but also highlights that lots of stroke survivors are not getting the rehabilitation they need. The outcome of this can be increased disability and reduced independence.
Private neurological physiotherapy and occupational therapy allows quick intervention after hospital discharge, high intensity of rehab and the length of input needed to allow individuals to achieve their full potential following a stroke.
Contact us if you or someone you know are recovering from a stroke and need specialist rehabilitation.

Yesterday, the Government announced a new 10-Year Health Plan for England, while a recent headline from The Guardian reinforces why we need it.

According to the health ombudsman for England, the NHS has repeatedly failed in its diagnosis and care of stroke patients. Complaints to the ombudsman of 'missed symptoms' and 'delays to diagnosis' have risen by two-thirds in the last five years, and recent figures show that fewer than half of stroke patients (46.6%) are arriving at a specialist stroke unit within four hours of symptoms starting. This increases the risk of death and long-term disabilities such as paralysis, memory loss and communication problems.

Here's what stroke survivor, Kirsty thought after reading the article:

'As a stroke survivor, this is heartbreaking to read. I count myself as one of the lucky ones. I recognised the signs quickly, the ambulance came fast, and I received excellent care from the stroke team. I’ll always be grateful for that. But not everyone gets that same chance.

'This article highlights missed diagnoses, poor communication, and failing aftercare. It’s not just about surviving a stroke, it’s about surviving with dignity, with proper rehab, and with the support people deserve.

'If you’ve had a stroke or supported someone through one, you deserve more than just survival, you deserve proper care, support, and a recovery that’s respected.

'Stroke can happen to anyone, at any age and getting it wrong can mean the difference between life, death, or lifelong disability.'

To finish, the ombudsman added, clinicians need to act quicker in the event of a stroke, even if the symptoms are atypical, and communication and collaboration need to improve if diagnostic and treatment pathways are going to deliver the best possible outcome for patients.

Stroke treatment is not only urgent, but time sensitive, and no patient should have to endure worse outcomes because of missed symptoms or delays to diagnosis. The NHS needs to learn from these findings.

Introducing the Neuro Rehab Services mini library. This was inspired by the book recommendations of one of our lovely clients. I am going to collect books that are informative or inspiring for clients, families and carers. Books can be borrowed from clinic, and I can bring them out to clients having therapy at home. I would love recommendations for books which are inspirational for rehabilitation and recovery 💙

It has been another wonderful end to a fantastic week, and we have had another success story. A young man with a diagnosis of FND has achieved all of his goals in only 3 sessions, including returning to indoor climbing. His Tinetti score improved from 14/28 to 27/28, showing a marked improvement in balance and walking. It goes to show the importance of accessing physiotherapy early after a neurological diagnosis or event. Once again, well done to all of our clients for your constant hard work and dedication to your rehabilitation. Have a lovely weekend everyone 💙
