Essentials of Stroke Care guide now available for patients, stroke survivors and their families

The Essentials of Stroke Care was created to be a guide for stroke health professionals and planners. This latest version is for the general public and lays out what care and support every stroke survivor should receive.

This guide provides stroke survivors, their relatives, carers, and advocates with a checklist against which they can assess the quality of their care.

It includes the latest information and resources to help those affected by stroke.
