Advice and support has been invaluable

Posted By Resilience pays

"Advice and support has been invaluable"

About: Adult Health & Support Services / Physiotherapy Lanarkshire Community Services / Stroke MCN (Managed Clinical Network) Service University Hospital Hairmyres / Acute Stroke Unit (Ward 6)

(as the patient),

I had a stroke in early 2024, and thank both my hospital care team (Hairmyres) and after care (South Lanarkshire).

I was referred to Lisa to work on visual field and regain ability to get driving license back - a major goal for me.

Lisa’s advice and support has been invaluable, giving me hope (whilst managing expectations) of a successful outcome.

We continue to work on making a strong case for exceptional circumstances appeal which, I feel, has every chance of success.
