corralejo salud centro

Centro de Salud, Corralejo
#1
About a year ago improvements were started on the Centro de Salud in Corralejo. If I remember rightly there were to be improved and additional Urgencias spaces downstairs and extending out the back. Upstairs they were enclosing the end that previously just been single storey to make more consulting rooms for the GPs.
They got off to a good start but it has just seemed to grind to a halt, the Urgencias and normal receptions, combined while the work is in progress, is a nightmare, often just operated out of a hole in the wall where a breezeblock or two has been knocked out! Distinct lack of bathroom facilities (there is a loo upstairs if you know about it, not signposted) and on the mornings when bloods are taken an always chaotic event is a living nightmare.
They still provide an excellent medical service despite all that's going on, or not!

Was in the vicinity today and took pics from the rear and the side - still not looking near to being finished. I did chuckle when I read the dates on the works info board  Big Grin

The new one in Antigua was a similar saga overran by nearly two years I remember rightly, eventually opened mid 2017, we were there the second day it opened, and there was a light fitting that was obviously faulty, I was there this morning and it is still faulty 2 years+ later Rolleyes Rolleyes Rolleyes

Still dragging on. A bit worrying to see the insulation materials falling off before the outer covering is in place!

Interesting on Friday driving past the hospital I commented on how quick what looks like a new entrance has been built.

I had an appointment yesterday at Corralejo Centro de Salud, upstairs in the newly extended area. All very smart and clean, loads of new consulting rooms but I had to peer around a lot of corners to find the room number I needed - no main signage up there. The new staircase wasn't operational. New loos up this end as well. The downstairs loos are accessible again - they were closed off for a while during the works. Main reception wasn't open - a lady sat at the front door with all the appointment sheets on a little folding table, ticking off names as people arrived.

Radio Sintonia:

The Health Center of Corralejo implements the protocol of direct referral to Physiotherapy from Primary Care Medicine.

The Health Area of Fuerteventura, attached to the Ministry of Health of the Government of theCanary Islands, launched last week the protocol of direct referral to Physiotherapy from Primary Care Medicine.

 

This protocol was implemented at the Morro Jable Health Center in February 2020, continuing at the Gran Tarajal Health Center in August of that same year.

This service allows medical staff to refer directly to the Physiotherapy service of the Corralejo Health Center certain patients who require physiotherapy, with those with pathologies such as cervicalgia or mechanical low back pain, shoulder tendinopathies, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis or pelvic floor problems of low complexity. The objective is to reduce waiting times for the start of physiotherapy treatment, pharmaceutical and diagnostic test expenditure, as well as specialized waiting lists.

The results obtained in the centers where it has been implemented indicate a high degree of efficiency and satisfaction, both on the part of patients and the professionals who assist them.

Within the same direct referral plan, it is contemplated to continue expanding this service to the central area of the island, in order to achieve equity among all patients in Fuerteventura, being able to benefit from this service.

The director of the Health Area of Fuerteventura, Sandra Celis, is pleased to continue expanding this service on the island. "With the implementation of direct referral, we managed to reduce the waiting list, as well as strengthen services in Primary Care," says Celis.
At the same time, the manager of the Health Services, José Luis Rodríguez, comments that "Fuerteventura has been a pioneer in the implementation of this direct referral service in physiotherapy, a model that has been implemented in other Health Areas, given its magnificent results".
