Measuring progress and keeping SMART!

As a Practice, we are focussed on making sure that we are able to monitor the success of our patients, and do so by setting and monitoring SMART goals. To ensure that we continue to review our goal setting and how SMART goals are set and measured across the team, Jayne Hallford and Heather Preston attended Continuing Professional Development courses in March 2013. The “Goal Attainment Scaling Workshop” was held at Stewarts Law in Leeds, and was co-organised by Recolo. The course tutors were Steffi Skalla, Specialist Physiotherapist in Neurological Rehabilitation, and Dr Peter Tucker, Consultant Clinical Psychologist in Neuropsychology. This was an interesting day looking at the process of goal setting, how to audit goal setting and how to ensure consistency with SMART goals between different therapists of different disciplines for the same patient.

Jayne (Physiotherapist) and Heather (Occupational Therapist) will present their findings at our forthcoming Team CPD Challenge day on Record Keeping, to be held on Friday. They hope that their findings will help us to review our goal setting and how we set SMART goals as a multidisciplinary team.

I am the Chair/Co-ordinator of Bolton Neuro Voices, a small local charity. I first contacted SP Therapy Services in 2012 when I was looking for a neuro physiotherapist to help us pilot a new Hydrotheraoy Course for people with long-term neurological conditions. Since then Susan Pattison and her staff have helped us to deliver ten courses to a total of more than 200 people and to facilitate the progress of many on to ongoing Continuation Programmes. Her expertise and willingness to listen and respond to our needs and those of our very varied participants is hugely appreciated and our partnership has gone from strength to strength. I unreservedly recommend this practice.

Andy provided a very thorough and considered physiotherapy assessment of a client with complex needs. His report was to a very high standard and underpinned all immediate and long term therapy needs. Thank you!

SP Therapy Services has supported Greater Manchester Spinal Injury Group for many years. Susan and Rebecca have demonstrated knowledge and skill and been adaptable to working in community settings. I would have no hesitation in recommending SP Therapy Services

I am delighted to endorse the team at SP Therapy Services. They consistently provide exceptional therapy and support their practice with sound, detailed documentation, which always arrives in a timely manner. The friendly clinicians are a credit to this fabulous company and it is evident that they always keep their patients at the centre of everything they do.
