Tameside Hospital Disability Working Group

I attended the above meeting today which includes various members from different agencies within the community that represent individuals weith disabilities or impairment as patient representatives, discussed the agenda items, the interesting part about today;s meeting was the launch and distribution of the The New Tameside Hospital Patient and Carers Handbook - essentialy a user guide to for patients and carers who are admitted to hospital covering all the necessary information they will require to make their admittance infornmed such as diets available on hospital menus, policies. how to deal with valuables during your stay, to name a few -interesting reading and very useful!

I have some copies available if anyone would like to obtain one but they are also available directly from Tameside Hospital Foundation Trust should a quantitiy of copies of the handbook be required. .I also believe that the  handbook is available in alternative formats on request from Gary Birkkenhead at Tameside Hospital telephone number is 0161 922 6000 Extension 5332.
