Review titled I have taken with me happy memories to remember the rest of my life
by charlieqz89 - Posted on 13 October 2023
Had a stroke which affected the movement on my right side. When I arrived at the NRC in Edgware Community Hospital I could not move my fingers or toes. I was wheelchair bound with a blue arm support. Had a great time here with support from the whole staff, from cleaners to the doctors. They showed me kindness and respect throughout my stay.The physio team were brilliant in the gym, never give up was their motto, always try your best. Now I can walk with a four prong stick and move all my fingers. Sorry to leave but I have taken with me happy memories to remember the rest of my life.

I fell down the stairs and I had a fractured skull and two bleeds on the brain. I came to rehab to get my self back to myself which I still don't feel me. Being at the unit has helped me a lot. The staff are really lovely and helpful.

Review titled My journey to recovery
by Celery61 - Posted on 23 November 2023
I had a blood clot pass through an artery in my spine which caused me to lose sensation below the waist. It took a while (over a week and 3 MRI’s) for the neurologists to get the correct diagnosis as this is a very rare event. After about 10 days I began to regain sensation in my legs but bladder and bowels were not under my control. It was decided I was a good candidate for neuro rehabilitation. The physios in hospital got me out of bed and into a wheelchair, gave me leg exercises and motivated me to start weight bearing. After 4 weeks in hospital I went to a neuro rehab unit to continue my progress. No one knows how well I’ll recover as little data exists on this rare condition. However early indications were good. I was determined (naively) to make a full recovery in rehab in 6 weeks… I have made significant progress as I can now walk very slow with that aid of a 4 pronged stick. I’m really looking forward to going home and continuing my recovery.

Review titled Great department and care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Christine Ched-di - Posted on 01 August 2023
This morning I had a breast screening appointment which I was not looking forward to as due to past experience in other units. From the receptionist to the screening staff I have to say they were amazing. As I’m disabled I was given time between to sit between scans and never seen as a problem when I was unable to stand for too long. Thank you so much for being so understanding!

Review titled I received excellent advice and support
by scutumjy83 - Posted on 21 November 2023
I was discharged from hospital and referred to the Community Neurological Management Condition Team (CNCMT), Edgware Community Centre. I had extremely limited mobility when I was discharged from hospital. I was initially seen and assessed at home by a Physio. This led to being being given a series of exercises to do at home to assist my mobility. Over the course of the next few weeks I was able to go from moving around the house with the assistance of a frame to walking outside with a walking stick. I received excellent advice and support from the Physio during this period. I am now able to walk unaided. As part of the CNCMT package of support I was also visited and received advice from a Dietician. This has greatly assisted in eating more healthily and regaining the weight lost from my hospitalisation.

Review titled Curious
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ronald Engelbert - Posted on 19 July 2023
This morning (19th July 2023) I had a physiotherapy appointment. It was my first appointment for back and hip pain. The session lasted 45 minutes. The physiotherapist was excellent - thorough, professional and caring. However, the first 15 minutes were taken up with questions and answers about my current symptoms, my medical history and my medications. All of these are, or should be, on my medical record. Is this not a great waste of NHS time?

Review titled The staff here are so kind and gentle
by K42h - Posted on 02 August 2023
I had brain bleeding AVM which damaged my left arm and leg. I couldn't move my arm and lost my balance while walking or standing. I am in the neruo rehab center in Edgware. Staff here are so kind and very gentle with patients. Helped me with my mobility now I can walk with the stick confidently. I was here for 3 weeks... physio team is just amazing 👏 The only issue here was the food it wasn't good at all🤮! Every patient was complaining about it.

Review titled The Staff went above and beyond to motivate me and help me to achieve my goals
by capellajr73 - Posted on 08 August 2023
I went to A&E as I was not able to walk, had pins and needles in my feet and legs and could not pass urine. The doctor immediately sent me for an MRI, where it was confirmed I had cauda equina. I was then rushed to UCL neurology hospital where I had my operation the same day. The staff at A&E Whittington Hospital and UCL were amazing and they cared for me very well. I was then moved to Edgware neurological rehabilitation centre, where I spent 3 weeks learning how to walk again and gaining my strength. The Staff went above and beyond to motivate me and help me to achieve my goals. I can’t thank them enough for the help and care they gave me. The nurses and physiotherapists are very kind. Thank you so much!

I had a stroke. Obviously, I didn't feel well because of the stroke but felt happy and supported. The facilities and activities were good.
