ECL Ward-led Enablement success - Roy's story one year on
Roy Hignett is one of the first patients of our pioneering Ward-led Enablement programme delivered in partnership with Essex County Council (ECC) and the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT). It’s been just over a year since he was discharged from hospital and we caught up with him to see how he’s doing now.
When Roy was admitted to hospital he’s had a sudden loss of feeling and control of his legs. To date Roy still doesn’t have a diagnosis and yet he has made a remarkable recovery thanks to the fact this reablement care started while in the hospital rather than once he was discharged home.
Thanks to ECL’s Ward-led Enablement team, by the time he left hospital Roy could walk and over one year later he is fully independent and back cycling which he loves.
