Local palliative and end of life care charity Compton Care has recently launched a new support service for those living with the effects of a neurological condition.

Kayleigh Beardsmore, Neurological Conditions Coordinator at Compton Care, has a background in specialised nursing for those with complex mental health conditions, together with delivering training on the subject. 

It is estimated that 1 in 6 people in the UK have a neurological condition or will be diagnosed with one in their lifetime, with approximately 800,000 hospital admissions each year as a result of the effects of living with a condition such as Parkinson’s Disease, Motor Neurone Disease or Dementia.
Compton Care, which already provides a host of free services for those in the region affected by an incurable illness, has introduced a specialist role in order to support those living with a neurological condition and to help reduce unnecessary hospital visits.
