Last week, Stephen visited East Ham Care Centre to hear about the work of the Community Health Newham Team.
Stephen was shown around two of the site’s wards, Fothergill and Sally Sherman, and met many of the centre’s staff.
The visit began with an introductory talk by Ben Braithwaite, the centre’s Medical Director. Happy Khatun and Magg Mbelo then spoke with Stephen about person-centred occupational therapies before Ward Matron Chantal Riverie showed Stephen around the wards. Deputy Lead Nurse Tim Hunter also introduced Stephen to the Urgent Care Response team and Clinical Ade Adeosun introduced the District Nursing Team.
Speaking after the visit, Stephen said, “It was a privilege to recently visit the East Ham Care Centre in my constituency, to learn more about the wonderful care staff provide for service users. The community care services in Newham are vital in ensuring service users are continuing to be supported throughout their complex needs, and I would like to thank staff for their unwavering dedication.”
