It is available in eight languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Romanian).

There are more than nine million people living with stroke in Europe.
The number of people living with stroke is set to increase as our population ages.
Life after stroke is a key component of the stroke care pathway. It needs to be made a priority and improved across Europe.
Check out this short video by Arlene Wilkie, Director General of SAFE, to know more about the importance of life after stroke.

Our last event on 11 March 2022, covered the topics of Self-management after stroke and communication after stroke:
That seminar was uplifting, inspirational, and so well delivered. A huge amount of work to get this show on the road – and it was brilliant. Lots of ideas, take home messages and further reading. 11 March event participant

On Friday 11 March, we held our Life After Stroke event. Our thoughts were with all of those in the Ukraine, and the atrocious loss of life and suffering they are facing
Each day this war continues, means a more dreadful place for those living with stroke and their families.
We deplore this war and the impact it is having on the provision of vital stroke services, care and support.
Many hospitals have been damaged or destroyed. Medical and allied healthcare professionals are desperately struggling to save the lives of, and care for those who have had a stroke. Healthcare professionals themselves are being caught up in the attacks on civilians. Patient organisations are unable to provide the full support that stroke survivors desperately need.
Those who are living with stroke, whether still in Ukraine or fleeing the country, are suffering from a lack of available medicine, care and support.
This situation is unthinkable in the 21st century.
We are calling for the international community to support Ukraine and the surrounding countries to urgently restore continuity to stroke care.
We must see an immediate end to this war.
