The Ladies Charity this year is very dear to all of our hearts. We are supporting the High Wycombe Stroke Unit - where our very own Sue D'Arcy, ex Ladies Captain at PRGC, is now being cared for.
A little about strokes and the High Wycombe Hospital Stroke Unit:
Strokes occur when the supply of blood to the brain is reduced or blocked completely, which prevents brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. A stroke can affect anyone of any age regardless of fitness or lifestyle;
Strokes are very common with over 20,000 cases per year in the UK. A stroke can last several years or be lifelong.
Although some people recover quickly many need long term support to help them regain as much independence as possible.
The Stroke Unit at Wycombe Hospital gives care in an environment specifically planned around each patients’ specific needs.
Effective treatment can prevent long-term disability and save lives
These treatments include Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy and Neurorehabilitation.
The work that this Unit does is outstanding and is a Centre of Excellence in the area.
