Urgent Petition: Support Continuity of Care for Patients with Complex Needs!

Swindon local, Nina Parry, is campaigning to change the law to ensure that patients with complex needs receive consistent and continuous care if they’re admitted to hospital. This change is essential for the well-being and safety of thousands of vulnerable people. 

Nina, who is a wheelchair user, said: “My carers are my lifeline. I have them four times a day and they literally do everything. They shower me in the morning, they get me out of bed, they prepare my food, they do my exercises.

“If I was in hospital without them it would be horrific. I would be anxious, depressed, I’d be stuck in a bed and I wouldn’t be able to move. I would get ill, I would get a pressure sore and potentially sepsis. I would become more ill from having a hospital stay.”

Nina needs to reach 100,000 signatures for this to be put before parliament. Nina’s petition has reached over 20,000 signatures, has support from her local MP, and gained media attention from The Hereford Times and ITV West Country. We want to support Nina’s law and want to encourage you to sign her petition.
