Dignity
The NHS is currently under
an enormous and constantly
increasing amount of pressure.
Post Brexit has also increased
pressure meaning the future of the
NHS is at major risk. Further to
this the NHS do not do enough to
prevent risks in the first place nor
enough to maintain health post
operation. The number of beds
currently in hospitals is far below
what is needed, especially with
increasing population and lack
of funding. My system provides
a temporary accommodation for
those recovering from strokes.
Stroke patients are mostly long
term however they do not need
to be in the hospital at the time
therefore bringing them to a
concentrated care location for
their needs will increase recovery
rates and relieve the NHS from
its pressure whilst maintaining a
higher turnover in beds.
