SameYou joins forces with healthcare charities to call for better access to rehab
SameYou is backing a major campaign calling for an end to the postcode lottery for NHS rehabilitation services that help people recover from illness and accidents such as car crashes, cancer or strokes.
There is currently no guaranteed access to this vital care and the call is for life-changing NHS rehab services to be made available to everyone in the UK - no matter where they live.
The campaign celebrates patients’ ‘firsts’ since hopitalisation – the first tentative footsteps or first halting words.
Actor Stephen Fry, who needed rehabilitation after breaking his leg, pelvis and several ribs in a fall from a stage at the O2, is also backing the campaign.
