Our staff at Ramsay Neurological Centres
There is a high ratio of registered nurses and care staff to the
residents. The number of nursing care staff on duty each day and
night is determined by indivdual residents needs. Some residents
for example may require one to one support, others may need one to
two or one to four.
Each centre normally has a mininmum of 4 registered nurses on
duty 24 hours per day, supported by clinical managers and teams of
care assistants, senior care assistants and clinical support
assistants.
A key worker system operates at the centres and regular reviews
of care needs, care delivery and therapy requirements are conducted
for each resident by internal and external teams.
The therapy teams in each centre includes:
- Qualified and experienced Neurological Physiotherapists
- A qualified and experienced speech and language therapist
- Activity facilitators
- Therapy assistants
Nursing care and Therapy staff recieve training in a range of
relevant areas including the management of different neurological
conditions, tracheotomies, gastrostomies, seizures, chest
management, postural management, protection of vulnerable adults,
all relevant health and safety training and NVQ's. Regular
supervision and appraisal ensure that every member of staff
maintains relevant competencies.
The centres also employ a range of non-clinical staff including
porters, hotel services, maitenance, business and administration
