University of Kent and KIMS Hospital have launched a new neurological support service for people living with long-term neurological conditions including stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and insomnia.
The service, called Neurowell, will operate from KIMS Sevenoaks Centre and aims to provide coordinated support for patients through a combination of specialist clinical expertise, evidence-based therapies and technology-enabled interventions.
The service will focus on mobility, mental health, cognition and sleep, integrating conventional therapies with technologies including non-invasive brain stimulation and physiological measurement of the sleep-wake cycle.
Around one in six people in the UK live with a neurological condition, but access to coordinated, ongoing support remains challenging. KIMS Hospital executive chairperson Prema Subaskaran said the partnership would help expand support into the community for people living with long-term conditions.
‘I am delighted that KIMS will partner with Neurowell. This new partnership provides a fantastic opportunity for KIMS to reach further outside the hospital into the community to support people with long-term health challenges,’ she said.
University of Kent pro vice-chancellor for health and strategic partnerships and Neurowell director David Wilkinson said the service had been designed to combine clinical expertise with research and innovation.
‘Our aim is to help people with neurological conditions live as well as possible,’ he said. ‘This service brings together clinical expertise, research and innovation in a way that is accessible and person-focused.’
The University of Kent is home to the Parkinson’s Centre for Integrated Therapy, which received a Parliamentary Global Health Award last year.
