This new point of care reprocessing method involves a manual cleaning step, using reusable microfibre cloths in combination with hypochlorous acid, followed by an automated cycle in a UV-C decontamination chamber known as ‘Whitebox’. This chamber uses new generation LED technology and is the first of its type to achieve compliance to BS8628:2022. Compliance to this standard was verified in a UKAS accredited laboratory as the first stage of the evidence process.

The National Clinical Guideline for Stroke was recently updated to recommend a minimum of 3 hours of therapy 5 days per week. Last year's national stroke audit found that patients received on average 22.5 minutes of therapy daily. Rewire aims to address this deficit with a dynamic exercise programme, generated following a brief video-guided assessment. The app also tracks mood, fatigue and pain to address the psychological component of stroke.

NHS Sussex with Care Without Carbon’s project sees the development of a virtual neurorehabilitation care model that addresses carbon hotspots and aims to realise the full breadth of sustainability benefits: including air pollution, climate adaptation and health equity.

The project includes a six-month pilot of the use of video appointments in neurorehabilitation services. As well as training clinicians in digital communication skills, it will measure and evaluate the wider environmental benefits of this care pathway and seek to identify further opportunities to reduce its carbon footprint. Findings will inform guidance for other clinical services to support wider adoption of this model of care.
