About the Stroke Alliance for Europe
We are the voice of stroke patients and survivors in Europe, representing a range of stroke support organisations from more than 30 European countries.
Our goal is to reduce the number and impact of strokes in Europe: we advocate for better stroke prevention, equal access to treatment, better and more post-stroke care, rehabilitation and long-term support.
Our Projects
STROKE ACTION PLAN FOR EUROPE
Stroke Action Plan for Europe sets out targets and recommendations across the whole care pathway: primary prevention, organisation of stroke care, acute stroke care, secondary prevention, rehabilitation, evaluation of outcomes and life after stroke.
EUROPEAN LIFE AFTER STROKE FORUM
We launched the European Life After Stroke Forum in 2019. The aim is to create an opportunity to come together, share and network to improve life after care and support throughout Europe.
STROKE PREVENTION
Our stroke prevention website provides information on stroke prevention, stroke risk and the effects on brain health. It outlines steps to promote brain wellness and lower the likelihood of experiencing a first or second stroke.
